Ajaran catur warna dalam sastra suci Hindu, Weda, demikian luhurnya, tetapi yang tampak justru menjadi sistem budaya stratifikasi sosial yang tampaknya melanggar hak azasi manusia dan telah merusak citra agama Hindu dari zaman ke zaman. Penerapan sistem wangsa dalam menentukan catur warna itu sudah menimbulkan berbagai kericuhan di kalangan umat Hindu. Sebagai bukti banyaknya muncul kasus adat di berbagai daerah di Bali. Konflik soal wangsa ini sudah merupakan rahasia umum yang sering menghiasi media massa di Bali bahkan sampai mencuat ke tingkat nasional, seperti tampak dalam karya sastra berbentuk novel berjudul Tarian Bumi (2000) dan Kenanga (2003) karya Oka Rusmini. Hal itu terjadi karena supremasi adat kebiasaan feodalisme zaman kerajaan yang sudah terlalu lama tidak disempurnakan sesuai dengan ajaran catur warna. Abstract: The teaching of catur warna in Hindu sacred literature, the Vedas, is so exalted, but seems to be the cultural system of social stratification which appears to violate human rights and has damaged the image of Hinduisme throughout the ages. Application of wangsa system in determining the catur warna that has caused disquiet among many Hindus. The evidence is the many custom cases which appear in different regions of Bali. Conflicts about the wangsa is already an open secret that often decorate the mass media in Bali, even sticking to the national level; as shown in the form of literary novel titled Tarian Bumi (2000), and Kenanga (2003) work Oka Rusmini. It happens because of the supremacy of customary feudalism kingdom era that has been too long not being perfected in accordance with the teachings of catur warna. Key Words: catur warna, social criticism, stratification

The article is devoted to the problem of ensuring balance in the realization of two fundamental human rights and freedoms in a democratic society – the right to freedom of speech and privacy. It has been concluded that the rights to freedom of speech and privacy are recognized as fundamental human rights that do not conflict with each other but are intangible, inherent in every person. The right to freedom of journalism is a continuation of the right to freedom of speech and information and consists in the collection, storage, and dissemination of socially important information through the mass media. The usage of the rights in question, including in the mass media actions, may not be grounds for restricting or violating the right of everyone to privacy, the confidentiality of correspondence, correspondence, telephone conversations, and entails criminal liability in cases provided by law. In the public interest, the law provides grounds for exempting a journalist from criminal liability for disclosing confidential information, in particular in the case of disclosure of information of public interest or has already been published in other media, or concerns officials of public authorities.

Resumo: Os meios de comunicação de massa contribuem para o processo de reciclagem de estereótipos e preconceitos e, como resultado, muitos deles se tornam duradouros. Nesse sentido, a preocupação com a questão dos direitos humanos é inquestionável, bem como sua discussão e produção de pesquisas no âmbito universitário. Desse modo, alunos do Curso de Jornalismo da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) produziram uma revista para se opor ao conteúdo predominante da mídia hegemônica, apresentando visões mais humanizadas sobre o município do Rio de Janeiro e alguns de seus personagens. O objetivo foi realizar uma cobertura reflexiva, contribuindo para o questionamento dos estereótipos mencionados. A linha editorial foi baseada nos direitos humanos e na ética. Devido à falta de patrocínio e dificuldades de impressão, o produto tornou-se disponível na internet e está sendo divulgado em congressos. A metodologia incluiu pesquisas sobre os temas elencados, trabalho de campo e entrevistas. Periodicamente, foram realizadas reuniões para avaliar a produção e sua vinculação com a linha editorial. Quanto aos resultados, há o prêmio na XXIII Expocom Sudeste e a receptividade na própria universidade. Este artigo, portanto, é um relato de experiência da Revista Contraponto.Palavras-chave: Direitos Humanos. Ética. Jornalismo. Revista.
