WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY

The Newsday has a story from either Kennedy Swaratsingh or Neil Parsanlal on World Press Freedom Day.

Here's where the confusion lies:
"PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Minister Kennedy Swaratsingh says the media plays an undeniable role in democratic societies globally.
Swaratsingh, in his capacity as acting Minister of Information, gave an address in observance of World Press Freedom Day, today. Parsanlal (our emphasis) said TT had consistently ranked among the top 20 countries in the world in the annual World Press Freedom Index."

Where did that name suddenly come from? At no point in that story are we told that Neil Parsanlal is the Minister of Information. Is it that Mr Parsanlal wrote the statement and Mr Swaratsingh read it, so you forgot to delete Mr Parsanlal's name?

At the end of the story, the writer says "Swaratsingh urged journalists to aim for excellence and not lose sight of their primary role as messengers of truth."

As messengers of truth, that should include getting it right.
