Therefore, there\u2019s a need for urgent revision of the sixth amendment of the NBC code. It\u2019s not media-friendly. It\u2019s not also democratically consistent because the other name for democracy is \u2018a free press\u2019,\u201d the professor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment must factor this into their development plan because we are the fourth estate of the realm and will never be the fourth estate of the wreck. So, there\u2019s a need for what we call reciprocity of cordiality between the press and the NBC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears to me that NBC is trying to overregulate to the extent that they are no longer regulators but traders. A free press is required to make the government accountable at all times, not sometimes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a revision of the NBC Code.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Arogundade said the code contains provisions that seek to discourage the press from demanding accountability from public office holders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsider the fact that section 2.127.2 of the code seeks to confer arbitrary powers on the NBC to, among others, shut down a station for violating the provisions relating to the web or online broadcasting without making any provision for stations that may be concerned to seek redress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy including the government among those that should not be embarrassed, the provision is capable of intimidating the media while encouraging public officials to dodge the responsibility of accountability since they can always resort to the claim of being embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, the provision is capable of undermining the obligation imposed on the media by section 22 of the constitution to monitor governance and hold government accountable to the people, and therefore should be expunged.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professionals and scholars of journalism have asked the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately review the amended broadcasting code and make it media-friendly.
