Journalists Told To Report With Accuracy
SHAH ALAM (Selangor, Malaysia), July 11 (Bernama) -- Tuanku Raja Zarith
Sofiah ibni Sultan Idris Shah, consort of the Sultan of southern state of Johor,
on Wednesday reminded journalists of their responsibility to write and report
based on facts and with accuracy.
She said this was important because the media provided the people with
knowledge on various situations and happenings locally and abroad, especially in
the borderless world of today.
"As consumers of news, we enjoy the diversity of views and opinions
expressed by people from different countries, and all are available at our
fingertips.
"I do hope that at this conference, you will find common ground and common
goals," she said when opening the Asian Media Information and Communication
Centre (AMIC)-UiTM International Conference on "Forty Years Of Media and
Communication in Asia: Retrospect, Introspect and Prospects", here.
Raja Zarith Sofiah said the presence of young Asian media commentators at
the conference was significant because these people were the ones who would
shape the future.
