Vice-President, Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), South West Zone, Mrs Ronke Samo has urged media professionals to ensure that trustworthiness becomes the hallmark of their job in every facet they find themselves.
Mrs Samo stated this in a release issued in Ado Ekiti to commemorate this year’s World Radio Day.
Samo’s statement reads in part: “Trust itself is a virtue and it is very rare to find a trustworthy fellow. But with the nature of our job, trust is central, especially given the fact that the public trusts us as Reporters. ,”She added.
“We must therefore ensure that we do not disappoint the public who repose such absolute confidence in us. We must therefore, also stay clear of fake news. And we should ensure that we represent the truth in whatever information we disseminate.
” Radio is regarded as the most accessible medium of mass communication to the public because of its cheap and very wide accessibility to the grassroots and this elicits the trust the public has in this medium of mass communication.
