DSS charges Journalists on balanced reportage

The Department of State Services (DSS), has urged the media to consider the peculiarity of Nigeria in terms of ethnic and religious diversities in news reportage.

Public Relations Officer of the DSS, PETER AFUNANYA, said this yesterday in Abuja, at a one-day seminar on the Media and National Security.

He said that the spread of fake news cuts across all ages, professions and status in this era of the social media, charging journalists to use the powers bestowed on them in the constitution judiciously and for the interest of the public, noting that objectivity is key in the discharge of media responsibility.
