Play
Public opinion on media reform calls for a free but ethnical press and the National Reform Council (NRC)'s committee on media has said it will be ready to submit its proposals to the Constitutional Drafting Committee (CDC) by November 30.
The public wishes to see the press adhere to constructive ethical codes of conduct with the aim of providing correct information to consumers.
“People call for a free but responsible press that does not violate the rights of citizens,” the committee said.
General input also called for laws protecting the press from outside influence and raising public awareness about media accountability.
The NRC committee in charge of mass media will meet on November 30 to conclude all the suggestions before presenting them to the CDC.
