Lusanda Bill
19 October 2010
The International Press Institute addressed delegates at a Press Freedom Day tribute in Johannesburg this afternoon.
Acting director of the Institute Alison Bethel McKenzie said the proposed media appeal tribunal, could be used to control the flow of information to the public.
The Institute fears that government’s efforts to regulate the media, could be mechanisms used to influence or punish journalists.
McKenzie said “international news agencies and diplomats have expressed their concerns, including lawyers who have warned that this is unconstitutional”.
