‘Charamba choice of engagement a threat to journalism’

THE Zimbabwe National Editors Forum (Zinef) has noted with shock and disbelief the response by government officials to NewsDay’s lead story titled ED turns to parallel structures.

Zinef said the attack on NewsDay is an affront to the practice of journalism, where media freedom and freedom of expression is enshrined in the Constitution of Zimbabwe.

“The authorities should be mindful of some of the basics tenets of journalism: Paying attention to image and substance courtesy of videos and audios circulated during and after the farm escapades as captured by NewsDay,” Zinef national co-ordinator Njabulo Ncube said.
