Journalists and stakeholders in Multan on Wednesday demanded the introduction of a provincial media safety law in Punjab, similar to existing frameworks in Sindh and at the federal level.
They also urged for the formation of the much- delayed federal journalists’ safety commission required to be established under the Protection of Journalists and Media Professionals Act, 2021.
The Capacity Building Training on RTI Mechanism and Media Safety, facilitated by RTI activist Kamran Saqi, provided practical guidance on filing RTI requests, highlighted investigative success stories produced by journalists using the RTImechanism, and briefed participants on media safety frameworks.
– Immediate establishment of the federal media safety commission under the Protection of Journalists and Media Professionals Act, 2021.
– Filling of vacant positions in the Punjab Information Commission to restore the RTI framework.
