As media practitioners, we must be careful with our pens, recorders, and microphones,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>ZPC Deputy Chairperson, Ms Tabia Makame joined the club Secretary Mr Mwinyivua Nzukwi to organise and partner in the programme.<\/p>\n<p>They insisted on journalists to move GNU to grassroots level, among the ordinary citizens, so that they understand and own the GNU. Mr Salum Vuai, one of the beneficiaries of the training, said the training has been an important reminder about the media role in preventing conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>He also called on sources to improve good relations with the media by giving information, saying that lack of information can, at any stage of a conflict, make people desperate, restless and easily manipulated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedia has the power to dilute tensions before they even reach a critical point, therefore it is important for leaders and political parties to provide credible information,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
