The Delta State government has reiterated
its commitment to partnering with journalists in the state in disseminating its
programmes and policies to the people.
The Head of Service, Reginald Bayoko, stated
this when he played host to the members of Indigenous Correspondents Chapel,
ICC, of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Delta State Council in Asaba.
Bayoko commended the group for the visit,
affirming that cordial relationship has been enjoyed with journalists in the
state.
He charged journalists to be fair,
objective and always cross check the information at their disposal before
publishing to avoid libel, pointing out that yellow journalism was inimical to
the growth and development of any nation.
The HOS equally enjoined media
practitioners in the state, especially those in the community newspapers to
propagate the SMART Agenda of the present administration to the grassroots.
