DIG/ The book published by the journalist of the daily L’UnionGeorge -Maixent Ntoutoume Ndong is sufficiently edifying on the harsh living conditions of media men in Gabon and the exercise of the profession of journalist.
During his meeting with the press, on September 2, 2023 at the Palais de la Rénovation, the President of the Transition made the commitment to ” re-brand of the press provided that it is fair and professional in the processing of information.
“I am for freedom of the press. Write without fear.
But on condition that you provide people with verified and credible information.
The profession of the press must be respected and valued, because writing and speaking are weapons that can destroy when they are misused.underlined General Brice-Clotaire Oligui Nguéma.
According to the Director General of Communication, Hermine Otounga Souna, Gabon has “150 press organs including 100 newspaper titles, written press, online press and 50 radio and television channels including community radio stations”.
Except that the majority of these media are experiencing enormous financial difficulties in the exercise of their activities.
The President of the Transition therefore promised to pay particular attention to the corporation.
One of the first strong measures is his will, it is said, to bring back the subsidy to the press from 127 million to 500 million CFA francs.
But also to provide each press organ with rolling means.
“There are vehicles that have been seized, bought by Republic thieves.
I think every media outlet will have two cars to make your job easier.”he promised.
