TODAY's MEETING BETWEEN NUJ AND PUBLISHERS

The meeting scheduled to hold today in Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa state between the Nigeria Union of Journalist [NUJ] and Publishers in the state is at the instance of the Chairman of the Council, Mr. Tarinyo Akono, whose vision is to reform the media in the state from unwholesome activities.
Last week Thursday 30th the first of such meetings held in the office of the Chairman who spoke on some unacceptable unprofessional behavior that does not complement the ethical standard of the Pen fraternity. Akono said he decided to call the Publishers to  meeting in their respected position as employers to look at the conduct of their reporters covering events in the state to maintain the respect the Pen profession had earned over the years. The meeting was adjourned to today, Tuesday June 4th for continuation.
