Police should stop harassment of journalists

The anti-media brigade forgets the role played by the media in the country. They ignore the fact that members of the Fourth Estate play a crucial role in this country’s democracy.

Ours is one of the most important jobs and no amount of intimidation, harassment, physical assaults and arrest will deter us from this calling. We will continue to report without fear, favour but responsibly. Over the years we have seen the arrests of several journalists and raiding of other newspaper offices and many more outrageous incidents.
