THANKS ASHA

Being consistent as a journalist. That's the way to go Asha Javeed.
She's being interviewed on CNC 3 on winning two awards in recent times (PAHO & UNFPA). She is also of the view that quantity in media does not mean quality, and the content of radio and television stories needs to be improved. She says WE NEED TO RAISE THE BAR. She says media needs to be used as a way to develop society, and she hopes the powers that be at the various media houses ensure this happens.
Asha says journalists need to recognise what their ideals are and stick to that.

On Tuesday evening Deborah John said almost the same thing at an awards ceremony where her late father George John was also awarded posthumously.
Thanks Asha and Deborah for echoing what we here at Media Watch have been saying all along.

PS Here's a gentle reminder for Cordielle, the stud in your nose is still not appropriate for serious tv.
