Co-exist, Mushanga counsels media
KETRA KALUNGA writes  CENTRAL Province Minster, Sydney Mushanga has implored the media to co-exist and work together in pushing the country’s developmental agenda. And Mr Mushanga has urged the media to guide against scandalizing people in their reporting but to be factual as he saluted them for their contribution in the fight against COVID-19. He said the media whether from private and public media should unite because they were trained for the same cause of informing, communicating and entertaining the general public. Mr Mushanga was speaking yesterday when he made a donation of COVID-19 materials worth K8 000 to the media in Kabwe on behalf of the provincial administration as part of the World Press Freedom day commemoration. “Allow me to solute you as media and all your institutions working in the province in particular Kabwe for the job well-done in previous assignment especially during the current outbreak,” said Mr Mushanga. The provincial minister said as government they were concerned with the levels of segregation among the journalist from the private and public media which he said should be avoided at all cost. “Some times us in government we wonder about the segregation between those from the private and public led institutions, unite  and work together,” said Mr Mushanga. The minister has however commended journalists for their contribution to human development and which he said was a noble calling and urged them to continue. The provincial minister assured the media of the government’s as they execute their duties especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. “As government will always work with you, will not leave you alone, I urge you to be guided by media ethics and professionalism,” said Mr Mushanga.
