The Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) has sought further improvements in the Media Council Bill and Information Technology (IT) Bill before proceeding with the bills.<\/p>\n
A meeting of the FNJ central office bearers and members available in the capital Thursday reviewed the latest status about the bills, deciding to go with pressure-creating programmes to get the FNJ voices addressed in the bills. The umbrella organisation of journalists highlighted the need for additional improvement in the Media Council Bill for Council’s autonomy.<\/p>\n
The meeting chaired by FNJ acting chair Bipul Pokhrel urged the government to sit for discussions with stakeholders concerned before proceeding with the bills.<\/p>\n
"Besides, the meeting has decided to draw the government’s attention towards a press statement capable of posing a threat against editors and media house issued by the Chinese Embassy in Nepal over disseminated news," the FNJ stated at the press meet.<\/p>\n
It has also urged media house to follow media ethics and be more attentive while disseminating news on sensitive topics.<\/p>\n
It has as usual stressed the editorial freedom in media house, deciding to keep going with efforts and monitoring in regard with the implementation of Working Journalists’ Act.<\/p>\n
Stating that a large number of journalists are at present without press pass, it has demanded government’s facilitation to create an easy atmosphere for renewing press pass and ensuring safety of journalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
