FREE MEDIA FOR TRUTH TO PREVAIL ESPECIALLY IN NORTH--JEHAN PERERA
28 July 2014
The disruption of two media training programmes for Tamil journalists
from the former war zones of the North in quick order makes it appear
that they have become a target for suppression. In the space of less
than six weeks there have been at least two attempts to prevent Tamil
journalists from interacting with the larger civil society, to share
their experiences and to benefit from the latest advances in methods of
news investigation and dissemination. In this context the spokesman for
the Free Media Movement has said, “A journalist needs to be trained so
that they can do more for society. The government is stopping that from
happening. What they want are journalists who will be their puppets.” He
added that he had been threatened not to speak at the press conference
convened to publicise the issue.
