The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that all accredited media organizations in the country, including the African Independent Television (AIT), are free to cover the activities of the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
It however enjoined all media organizations to observe the highest level of professional standards in carrying out their duties.
”There
is a Code of Ethics guiding the practice of journalism in Nigeria, and
this demands every journalist to ensure a strict adherence to the
highest levels of ethics and professionalism in carrying out their
duties.
”There must be repercussions, within
the realms of the law, for media organizations which have wantonly
breached the Code of Ethics of the journalism profession and turned
themselves to partisans instead of professionals. But such repercussions
will not include barring any accredited media organization from
covering the activities of the President-elect,” APC said.
