Journalism is not a crime: ZMC

ZIMBABWE Media Commission (ZMC) executive secretary Godwin Phiri has urged police not to criminalise journalism, but treat it as a noble profession.

Phiri made the remarks during a ZMC election reporting and peace journalism training workshop held in Bulawayo on Thursday.

“There is no crime in Zimbabwe called being a journalist and at the highest level of the police we have an agreement that journalists cannot be arrested for carrying out their duty,” Phiri said.
