The body is expected to serve as an independent watchdog that will enforce media ethics and address complaints from the public.<\/p>\n<p>Officiating at the launch, Minister of Information and Media, Cornelius Mweetwa, described the move as a key milestone in Zambia\u2019s democratic journey. He said the Secretariat\u2019s operationalisation reflects the country\u2019s commitment to strengthening press freedom and fostering professionalism in the media industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not just a bureaucratic milestone,\u201d Mweetwa said. \u201cIt is the heartbeat of the Council\u2019s commitment to strengthening journalism, enhancing public trust, and promoting ethical media practices across Zambia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mweetwa noted that the Secretariat is expected to offer a platform for media accountability and constructive engagement between journalists and the public. He added that complaints would be handled independently, and investigations would be guided by fairness and impartiality.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretariat will host a Media Ombudsman and a team of professional staff tasked with investigating complaints, enforcing the Code of Ethics, and promoting media literacy. It is seen as a vital institution for addressing the increasing challenges of misinformation and public discontent with biased reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Mweetwa reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to press freedom, saying the media remains a critical partner in national development. However, he stressed that with that freedom must come accountability and responsible reporting.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged media practitioners to see the Secretariat not as a threat but as an opportunity for professional growth, self-regulation, and improved public service. He also thanked cooperating partners for their support in Zambia\u2019s media reform process.<\/p>\n<p>MSCZ Chairperson Pastor Kennedy Mambwe praised the launch as a defining moment in the country\u2019s media landscape. He described the Secretariat as a people-centered institution designed to serve every citizen who seeks redress for unethical journalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Secretariat belongs to the people,\u201d Mambwe said. \u201cAnyone who believes a journalist or media institution has breached ethical standards is encouraged to report the matter. Complaints will be handled professionally and transparently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He called on journalists and media houses to embrace a unified national Code of Ethics, noting that it is essential for consistent, responsible journalism across both public and private platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Mambwe urged public service media to formally adopt the same ethical standards and align their practices with national efforts aimed at improving the quality of news reporting.<\/p>\n<p>He also highlighted the need for ongoing training and capacity building for journalists, especially in rural areas, where access to professional development remains limited. He announced a nationwide outreach campaign to establish MSCZ structures at provincial and district levels.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance rural engagement, Mambwe appealed for logistical support, including the provision of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and requested access to government funding mechanisms to strengthen the Council\u2019s operational capacity.<\/p>\n<p>International partners and civil society organisations, including MISA Zambia, BBC Media Action, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, and the Swedish Embassy, were present at the launch. They commended the initiative and pledged continued support for Zambia\u2019s evolving media sector.<\/p>\n<p>MISA Zambia Chairperson, Mrs. Lorraine Mwanza Chisanga, described the Secretariat as long overdue and vital in countering the spread of misinformation. \u201cThis Secretariat is more than an office\u2014it is a foundation for rebuilding public trust in the media and promoting professional integrity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the MSCZ Secretariat marks the full operationalisation of Zambia\u2019s first independent, peer-led media regulatory body\u2014an important step toward a transparent, ethical, and democratically governed media environment.<\/p>\n<p>June 25, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9\ufe0f KUMWESU<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
