Media organizations covering the four corners of the world, capturing the latest on wars, conflicts, economic turmoil, economic breakthrough, civil war, civil conflict and the like should be able to tell the whole world in an impartial and most accurate way the details of these events. World events cannot be covered by local news channels. Journalist for local news may not have the mobility to be in 2 different parts of the world and cover two history-making events and report these to their locality. Big media organizations are commissioned to do this. Thus, they have to be able to do so in all languages possible.
