Zimpapers boss challenged over biased coverage

ZIMPAPERS board chairman Paul Chimedza has been taken to task over the biased and unfair coverage that his stable subjects other parties to, compared to the favourable reporting it gives to Zanu-PF.

Speaking at a Quill Speak, pitting aspiring MDC-T and Zanu-PF candidates in Masvingo, organised by the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists, MDC-T aspiring candidate for Masvingo West, Takanayi Mureyi, challenged Chimedza to ensure that all parties get fair coverage ahead of the July 31 polls.

The MDC-T has long accused the State-controlled media, including ZBC, of bias.

The party had called for media reforms before the July 31 polls and demanded equal access to eletronic coverage.
