The President of UTPC, Mr. Deogratius Nsokolo, has urged journalists across the country to return to journalism built on the foundation of addressing various challenges present in society, rather than writing news that praises leaders.
He made these remarks today while opening the general meeting of the Dar es Salaam Press Club (DCPC) held at the Jubilee Tower in Dar es Salaam.
He stated that currently, journalism has not been beneficial to society or our country because many news stories are praising leaders. Journalists should remain committed to their duty of criticism so that the government is aware of the challenges faced by citizens and can address them promptly.
The meeting was attended by members of DCPC and aimed to receive financial and operational reports of the club's activities.
