Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 73607, member: 636"] Information Minister Shadric Namalomba dropped promises that the new government will never arrest reporters during the entire five-year term under President Mutharika, while basically asking journalists to cover the country in a better light. The pledge came out when the government launched awards for Southern African media practitioners with Namalomba telling media houses they had better pay their workers properly and let them do their jobs without interference. Three local reporters grabbed runner-up spots at the regional competition across photo, radio and TV categories. Namalomba pushed journalists to benchmark themselves against places like Singapore and China while pitching more technical training through regional exchange programs to level up their skills and expand their perspectives on reporting.
