He urged members to remain committed to accuracy, objectivity, and fairness, especially in an era challenged by the spread of misinformation.
The Commissioner also reaffirmed the Ministry’s readiness to strengthen its collaboration with the media, particularly in the areas of capacity building and professional development for journalists across the state.
He expressed confidence that the new leadership will further deepen mutual trust and cooperation between the Ministry and the Chapel, and wished them a successful and impactful tenure.
