Reps unveil magazine to tackle fake news
The House of Representatives has launched the maiden edition of its Green Chamber magazine to “tell its own story rather than relying on others to take charge” of the House’s narrative.
“We have come here to show that in spite of the economic pressures brought on by the advancements in new media, it is still possible to do journalism with integrity, eschewing the false promise of clickbait headlines and fake news editorials,” he said. Likewise, he praised the efforts of the nation’s journalists who expose abuse of power. “I can say with absolute confidence, that this our democratic settlement could never have been achieved without the noble daring of the press.”
Mr Buhari said that though the magazine was long overdue, it was better late than never, urging the house to make copies available online for the benefit of Nigerians in the diaspora.
