Rising from the 15th All Nigeria Editors’ Conference (ANEC 2019) at the International Conference Centre, Sokoto, Sokoto State, the editors expressed concern over the proposed fake news and hate speech bills.
Condemning what they called all dictatorial tendencies against the media, the NGE members stressed the need to collectively fight against all media abuses by non-professionals.
They also frowned at all attempts to punish conventional media for the wrongs of non-professionals on the social media platforms.
In a communique, they called for the release of all detained journalists across the country, stating that democracy thrives better in countries that cherish and promote media freedom.
At the conference, chaired by former Ogun State governor Aremo Olsegun Osoba, were members of the Sokoto State executive council, led by Governor Aminu Tambuwal.
They deliberated on the theme titled: “A distressed media: Impact on government, governance and the society”.
The editors also noted that Nigeria’s dwindling economic fortune had contributed to the distress in the media industry and there was need for the government to overhaul its economic architecture in order to reflate the sagging economy and increase the revenue streams of the nation.
