Chairperson of the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority [GNBA], attorney-at-law Latchmie Rahamat, on Wednesday, underscored the importance of local broadcasters’ compliance with regulations.
Rahamat, who was addressing a stakeholders’ forum at the Herdmanston Lodge in Georgetown, said that in this digital age of rapid advancements in technology and increasingly interconnected global networks, “it is essential that broadcasters adhere to regulations and uphold standards that ensures the integrity, accuracy, and accountability of their content.”
These regulations, the Chairperson said, strike a balance between freedom of speech and protecting individuals and societies from harmful, misleading or offensive content. By complying with these regulations, broadcasters contribute to the creation of an informed, engaged, and well-rounded citizenry.
