Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Information and Media Minister CORNELIUS MWEETWA has expressed concern with the continued unethical reporting by some media houses.<\/p>\n

Mr. MWEETWA says it is disheartening to note how instances of sensationalism, misinformation and biased reporting have become the order of the day in certain media outlets.<\/p>\n

He says such kind of reporting does not only mislead the public but also erodes the foundation of responsible journalism.<\/p>\n

Mr. MWEETWA who was speaking at the launch of Crown Television on MultiChoice platform last night, called on media houses to uphold professionalism and ethical conduct for the profession to thrive.<\/p>\n
