Via Veritas — The House of Assembly Portfolio Committee on Media, Information and Communication Technology is holding a public hearing on the state of the public media this Saturday at 10 am

Venue: Government Caucus Room, Parliament Building, Harare – entrance on Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, [between 2nd and 3rd Streets]

Interested members of the public – individuals and organisations – are invited to attend and express their views.

Both written and oral submissions are welcome. If you are making a written submission it is advisable to take as many copies as possible for circulation at the meeting. If you are able to take a copy to Parliament before the meeting and give it to the Committee clerk [see below] she will duplicate copies for the members of the Committee.

This is a good opportunity to air views on the process of setting up the Zimbabwe Media Commission whose functions include “to uphold and develop freedom of the press; and to promote and enforce good practice and ethics in the press, print and electronic media and broadcasting”.
