US$20 Can Buy a Zimbabwe Journalist : Nick Mangwana
The low salaries earned by journalists could expose them to corruption, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Mr Nick Mangwana told the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Information, Media and Broadcasting Services yesterday.
Giving oral evidence on the Zimbabwe media environment, he noted that the sector was also bedevilled by huge operation costs hampering growth prospects.
“There are very low salaries and it is a concern for the ministry because that brings in corruption. So if one comes with a US$20 note they (journalists) would be tempted,” he said.
