DAVAO DEL NORTE, October 13 (PIA) - - For four consecutive
years, the provincial government here gave honour to the media through the
celebration of Press Freedom Month every October.
The provincial information office during the regular monthly
convocation program of the capitol kicked off earlier today the Press Freedom
Month celebration with a live taping of DavNor Today at the Bulwagan ng
Lalawigan.
DavNor Today is a one-hour tele-magazine type production
comprised of news reporting on the activities of the province and talk
show with Gov. Rodolfo del Rosario and Regional Director Maria Lourdes Lim
of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA).
Gov. del Rosario said that in Davao del Norte, the government
has a good rapport with the media.
“I think we are in good shape and don’t have a problem with the
media and I am very grateful that they here attending this celebration,” Del
Rosario said.
He said that the media played a crucial role in bringing
information to the public especially the delivery of government services.
"I'll just ask the media to act impartially and
independently in the treatment of their news," he stressed.
Gov. Del Rosario said that although it is unavoidable for the
media to take side, the media should present fairly what is actually happening.
