Inside Khamas media war room

Sources at the Office of the President (OP) have revealed that a ‘war room’ like committee periodically sits to monitor the “proportions of negative, neutral and positive coverage over the analysis period.”

“The committee monitors how all the media houses give coverage to all government ministries and President Ian Khama.  The idea is to starve those media houses that are critical to the administration of adverts. The ministries and the parastatals have been instructed to reduce their advertising revenue in the negative media houses,” a source said.
