THE Government has made remarkable strides in instituting legal and regulatory reforms in the media sector that have allowed the media to flourish and effectively execute its duties.
It is however, disappointing that a media outlet that is supposed to uphold professionalism and adhere to journalistic ethics of objectivity and impartiality embarks on misinformation and disinformation claiming President Mnangagwa was utilising parallel structures.
H.E. The President Dr ED Mnangagwa is a democratically elected President and First Secretary of Zanu-PF.
The outcome of the recent 2024 National People’s Conference is in black and white. All organs of the Party are confident in the President’s leadership. Intellectual and editorial laziness should not breed mischief and disrespect.
The President adopted the servant leadership and open-door policy which has allowed the President, Head of State and Government flexibility to interact with all members of the society including Party structures and affiliates etc.
The media sector in general and Newsday in particular should always verify and give the right of response in the spirit of factual, ethical reporting.
In the spirit of true professionalism, Newsday should practice responsible journalism.
