Journalism ‘imposters’ in Sierra Leone
May 14th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Press freedom and ethics
Via the Frontline Club, Journalism.co.uk came across this press release from the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists.
More significantly, says the release:
“It has also come to our notice that some unscrupulous people are posing as journalists and extorting (money from) people thereby bringing the name of the profession into disrepute.
“The association will use the courts of law to prosecute anyone engaged in this practice. We therefore urge members of the public to refer to the editor of any newspaper or radio station anyone poses or says they are representing.”
