Dear All,
Mr. Derrick Sinjela has challenged the Zambian community media to take sides and make their views known in this year’s Zambian presidential election. I have therefore taken some excerpts from today editorial on one of Zambia privately-owned paper The Post for us to discuss and analyze.
“Sata is a reckless opportunist who would sell anybody and anything for politics. Sata will not hesitate to divide any group or people if that will give him power - he is a very decisive character.
“Zambians should not be cheated by people who are promising to look after them after they failed to do so when they were in the office. These people want to return to office in order to continue their plunder of natural resources. Whatever we do, we should not give GIVE people our VOTE so that they plunder our economy again.”
Quote from the Zambian Post Newspaper entitled DON’T ALLOW THIEVES TO GOVERN 19/09/06 in reference to Mr. Michael Sata of the Patriotic Front, Zambia ’s leading political party in this year’s election.
Specifically I would like our academicians from the schools and departments of journalism and media studies to tell us what they think about the challenge that Derrick threw to us and advise how we should go about this issue.
I would also like to hear the views of other media institutions about this approach. Should we trash candidates in an election and influence voters to vote for our preferred candidate?
