Opposition Leader Belden Namah, held a press conference yesterday at his Office in Parliament in which, only the social media was invited. Namah affirmed the Oppositions view that the mainstream media was firmly under government censorship.
In recent times, I have seen that .. media… the mainstream media has been suppressed. Most of my stories haven’t been run, especially to do with high level corruption in this country,” Namah said The meeting was also a familiarisation gathering where members of online forums met with the Opposition Leader and discussed media relations going forward. Keen to avoid the perception that citizen journalists were ganging up against the government, a spokesperson said they were interested in presenting the truth. “We here in the social media, try to be as neutral as can be and we try to expose what we think is inappropriate and not good conduct,” the spokesman said. The meeting ended with the understanding, that all opposition communications will now be handled via social media. Source: Namorong Report Comments are closed.
