Juffa blasts PNG Media organisations for not reporting sensitive issues

Oro Governor Gary Juffa has blamed the PNG media organizations for not being impartial in their work and deliberate acts to avoid reporting on very sensitive issues affecting the country.
He said out of all the journalists who are currently reporters, about less than five would be reliably doing the right thing.
He said a greater majority of reporters appear to be on the take of some government or corporate entity.
“Where are the in-depth stories into matters of concern to the public such as the Sustainable Agriculture Business Lease (SABL), the Pacific Maritime Industrial Zone (PMIZ) scam, the sea bed mining saga, the numerous inquiries that went nowhere and the inflated contracts that go to dubious companies?” he asked.
“What are the atrocities in West Papua and other major stories that should be brought to the attention of our people? Where is the fairness and fearlessness of the media that we once appreciated? Where are the incisive questions demanding answers on behalf of our people?” he asked.
Juffa said today most of the journalists were on various government paid trips throughout the country or overseas singing praises of what was essentially the sale of PNG.
Governor Juffa even quoted a statement by American freedom fighter Malcolm X saying “If you are not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
He said if journalists continue to fail their prime responsibility in reporting the truth on very sensitive matters affecting the country and the state of its economy, they could lead the public to believe as what Malcolm X has said.
