The Society of Nigerian Broadcasters (SNB) has emphasised the need for a National Information Policy as a foundation to guide ethical and responsible broadcasting across the country.
This was disclosed in a statement by the SNB Vice-President (North-Central Zone), Ismail Sani, who said that such policy would ensure consistent and fair dissemination of accurate information to the public.
According to him, it will also ensure equal access to reliable information across regions of Nigeria, including rural areas.
He reiterated SNB’s commitment to welfare and continuous professional trainings to equip broadcasters with skills in emerging technologies, ethical journalism and industry best practices.
