MAJaC Launches Project To Promote Ethical Journalism

The Media Academy for Journalism and Communication (MAJaC), in its quest to promoting ethical and responsible journalism, has collaborated with Freedom house and launched a project- 'empowering ethical journalism excellence, elevating reporting capacities and strengthening Media integrity' in the Gambia.

This initiative was launched at the premises of the national nutrition agency on Tuesday under the theme “responsible Journalism”, with 20 participants to be trained for a period of six weeks.

Elaborating on why ethical journalism matters in a society and in nation at large, James Badjie, the Director of training at MAJaC, said: “Ethical journalism serves as the bedrock of democracy. It upholds accountability, transparency, fosters inform public discuss and safeguards against misinformation and censorship which are all essential pillars upon which a free and inform society stands.
