The Catholic Media Services of Zambia Episcopal Conference has clarified that it does not own Kasama’s Radio Mano contrary to some impression created by some online news outlets and radio stations that the Catholic Church has shut radio Mano for being anti PF.
CMS and ZEC Executive Director Fr. Winfield Kunda said it should be known from the onset that the Catholic Church through the Archdiocese of Kasama does not own Radio Mano and have no powers whatsoever in the operations and management of Radio Mano.
Fr Kunda said the public should however know that, the Catholic Church owns radio Lutanda which has just started test broadcasting in the same area of Kasama.
“Meanwhile as we call for professional media in Zambia, Catholic Media Services does not condone threats and intimidation directed at Journalists and other media workers. Also politicians and political parties should discourage their cadres from attacking media workers, if aggrieved by some media houses or individual journalists in the way they are reporting or doing some broadcasts, they should follow the right procedure of addressing such objections,” Fr Kunda said.
“As Catholic media services these developments are worrisome for they border on threatening people’s lives which the Catholic Church value so much. We hope an amicable solution shall be met so that the community radio station may once again start broadcasting.”
Ba LT you are so PF i can see how PF you’re PF although you pretend. anyway its okey you can now come out and just say you were hoodwinked by the callousness of the one so called Mwamba who seems to have alot of time posting his Katondo boys
REALLY, JOURNALISM IN ZAMBIA HAS COMPLETELY GONE TO DOGS OR IS IT THE DOGS WHICH HAVE GONE TO JOURNALISM? HOW COME EVEN MEDIA HOUSES THEMSELVES DON’T KNOW WHICH MEDIA IS OWNED BY WHICH BUSINESS OR PEOPLE? COPY AND PASTE HAS REALLY GONE TO THE ZAMBIAN JOURNALISTS BRAINS. FOR THE EVERYTHING IS JUST COPY AND PASTE WITHOUT EVEN BOTHERING TO VERIFY OR WHATEVER. THERE’S NO INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM ANY MORE. IT IS ALL ABOUT COPYING AND PASTING THE WHICH WILL MOSTLY AND EFFECTIVELY INSULT THE EDITOR’S PERCEIVED ENEMY OR A GROUP OF ENEMIES. THIS OBSESSION FOR INSULTING OTHERS HAS ERODED THE STANDARDS AND QUALITY OF NEWS OUTPUTS. JOURNALISTS ARE FAILING TO DO EVEN THE VERY BASICS IN THE PROFESSION. SAD.
