Media regulation bills: The nays have it?


The front page advertorial further read: “This is what the National Assembly wants to achieve with the NPC and NBC (Media) Act amendment Bill.”
“It is not just against the media… it’s about society’s right to know, your right to be heard,” it further posited.
The message was endorsed by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), the Nigerian Guide of Editors (NGE) and the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN).
The media protest followed the proposed Nigerian Press Council (NPC) and Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) bill before the Federal House of Representatives.
The new bill is tagged: “A Bill for an Act to Amend the Nigerian Press Council Act CAP N128 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1992 to Remove Bottlenecks Affecting Its Performance and Make the Council in Tune with The Current Realities in Regulating Press and For Related Matters.” ....

This clause deliberately ignores existing media laws which provides for retraction and apology where a media organisation errs in publishing a story. ....
