JOURNALISTS have been urged to abide by journalistic ethics and professionalism in their reporting.
The call was made by Officer Commanding Bulawayo province, Commissioner Patton Mbangwa Tuesday while addressing Bulawayo media representatives.
The meeting was part of the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA)’s organised nationwide meetings meant to nurture good working relationships between the police and the media especially during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Our involvement with the media is derived from the fact that we want to engage widely so that we will be able to provide the best service to the public. I urge all media houses to continue embracing ethics of investigative journalism and maintaining active communication with the police to achieve national objectives of sustainable development, peace and harmony,” said Mbangwa.
