Even as it remains a collective struggle to build a nation with the bricks of mutuality, plurality and tolerance, the media, as gatekeepers in the fourth estate, must demonstrate a greater awareness of the society, while upholding the principles of balance, objectivity and fair-hearing, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Mr Osinbajo stated this on Thursday evening during the book launch and presentation of “The Making of the Nigerian Flagship, the Story of The Guardian,” which held at the Federal Palace Hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
According to the Vice President, while it is true that the freedom of expression is enshrined in our constitution, society, progress, and order depend upon the responsible exercise of freedom, otherwise the end result will be anarchy.
