Namibian paper faults government's plan to establish media council
2008
Overview
If we take her at her word, then the door which she claimed was open to the media, has been closed with this categorical announcement (especially to those who believe in self-regulation rather than a Government-imposed initiative)! [Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah] went on to say that she was not yet ready to discuss the matter in public until she had a 'working document' in hand. Seems pretty pointless to put in place expensive measures to control the 'old' media, when people simply have to go online to get access to almost anything they want, and to be able to express themselves any which way they'd like to. So they don't necessarily need the NBC Chat Show or this newspaper's SMS pages to do so! If these rights would be curtailed, they'd quickly find expression elsewhere! So Government needs to go back to the drawing board and do its homework more thoroughly before making veiled threats about 'regulating' the media.
