Press association flags concerns about gov’t media conference

The Guyana Press Association (GPA) yesterday raised concerns that a two-day media conference organised by the government promoted self-censorship under the guise of responsible reporting and that there was a conflation of journalism with other aspects of communication including social media influencing.

In a statement, the press association underlined the primacy of freedom of expression as underlined in the constitution of Guyana and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
