Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Veteran journalist Mr. Pap Saine has acknowledged the enormity of the responsibility entrusted to him by the Newspaper Publishers\u2019 Association (NEPA) by electing him President but promised to work harmoniously with authorities for the realization of NEPA\u2019s objectives.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Saine pointed out that media and authorities are partners in development as he emphasized the need for the fourth estate and authorities to sit over issues around the table to amicably deal with misunderstandings and reinforce each other\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know my task is great, and I look forward to working with the authorities in a cordial manner, as I steer the affairs of this noble and responsible association together with my colleague publishers, all of whom are highly experienced and responsible media owners,\u201d Saine also the co-founder and co-publisher of The Point acknowledged in a statement issued to The press two days after his election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like the authorities to know that we are not enemies but partners in development. We should therefore always sit down and talk over matters to clear misunderstandings and support each other,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

The veteran journalist expressed gratitude to Allah \u201cfor making this landmark Newspaper Publishers Association (NEPA) in The Gambia possible and for letting me be elected its Chairperson. I thank God for that!\u201d<\/p>\n

He also thanked NEPA for his election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to thank my colleague publishers for electing me as their President for it is also a demonstration of respect and honour for me, despite having been at the helm of affairs of the Media Industry in this country for many years \u2013 I should say decades. I am elated!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also appealing to the business community to support the media by advertising their products and services, which is part of promoting the economy of The Gambia since advertisement is a sector that contributes to the economic growth of a country or nation,\u201d The Point boss stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe People and the MDAs \u2013 Ministries, Departments and Agencies \u2013 should also be subscribing to newspapers for, among other things, factual and reliable information, knowledge, and for record purposes. In conclusion, I would like to say we are here to defend the public, especially the voiceless,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
