Here is yet another apology from the media for spreading lies about
@afriforum, this time from
@eNCA.
eNCA has been instructed by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) to broadcast the correction below, including an apology, after lies about AfriForum were spread by its former presenter,
@HeidiGiokos.
This follows several findings by the Press Ombud that
@News24,
@PieterduToit and other media institutions had to apologise for publishing lies about AfriForum.
South Africa has many good journalists who take their responsibility to report accurately and fairly seriously. Unfortunately, there are also those who behave more like anti-AfriForum activists than journalists.
Hopefully, this latest finding in AfriForum’s favour, together with previous findings, sends a clear message to journalists at News24, eNCA and elsewhere who spread lies about AfriForum: in doing so, they undermine their own credibility.
