Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>DAR ES SALAAM:<\/b> PRIME Minister Kassim Majaliwa has directed media management authorities to ensure that media outlets adhere to ethical standards and refrain from publishing content that undermines Tanzanian values, traditions and customs.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Prime Minister said that the government will maintain its collaborative efforts with stakeholders of social networks and the media, in order to guarantee the sector\u2019s sustained expansion and its contribution to the nation\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy utilising the media, particularly social networks, we have successfully disseminated information to the general public regarding governmental initiatives and plans, while also fostering citizen engagement and participation in several initiatives and plans.\u201d he observed Mr Majaliwa made the remarks on Tuesday in Dar es Salaam at the Association of Social Media Journalists, JUMIKITA conference. Majaliwa\u2019s remarks came during a conference that also reviewed the three-year achievements of President Samia Suluhu Hassan.<\/p>\n
