The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) has expressed concern at the withdrawal of state advertisements by the Department of Public Information (DPI) from Stabroek News and the Guyana Times.
In a statement on November 5, FITUG noted that when President David Granger was asked during a November 1st Kaieteur Radio interview about the apparent decision to withhold state advertisements from Stabroek News he said that Government advertisements should be allocated on the basis of fair reporting. FITUG noted that the President underlined his point of view by adverting to Stabroek News’ lack of coverage of Queen’s College 175th Anniversary, an event where he was the main speaker.
