Mushohwe charms, threatens media

Information, Media and Broadcasting Services minister Christopher Mushohwe yesterday said a new media policy would soon be crafted and pledged to continue engaging the media, while also warning journalists to be sensitive when handling issues of "national interest".

Addressing journalists at his Munhumutapa offices, Mushohwe said he now understood the challenges facing media organizations after engaging proprietors and editors.

He said he would soon be visiting media houses to meet with the generality of editorial teams in order to appreciate challenges peculiar to each publishing house.

Mushohwe said he would consult the whole industry to create a media policy in January.
