If this administration is so arrogant it’s because it has some stupid citizens defending these mafias disguised as “leaders”..How can any sane person defend the attitude of this govt towards free press.

Boycott of presidential press rally is long overdue. The agreement should have been that from now onwards private media organisations will not attend these “rallies”. Have a front page that covers other news. The problem has been, as DPP trolls below are suggesting, that media houses believe that they are going to lose sales if they do not cover these pressers. Why not try it out? Next time APM comes back from his beloved USA, don’t put him on the front page. Instead lead with a story about an elephant stomping on a poacher, for example. 64% of Malawians did… Read more »

George Kasakula and Brian Banda are too personal on the issue of president.Media is responsible for criticizing and mus accept criticism as well. Dont be selfish.

This is foolish media ever lived in Malawi. Listen to George Kasakula and Brian Banda talking rubbish on the 92.8 radio, you would that these headless chickens are MCP remaining mercenaries. Listen to radio programme aired out on Times by Brian Banda on Sunday, 7th November 2016 from half 12 to half 1 and again listen to another programme on the same radio held on Monday 8th November from 12 noon to 1pm. You would conclude that these so called journalists if they are, are typical MCP die hard. And they are also ignorant of voting behavior of Malawi. Yes… Read more »

Can you please tell us which false and sensational news did Zodiak air out. Mthalika admitted that he was sick and got injection. Who paid for that stay in America and whose money is that very stupid this guy is going and can not stand up with a younger blood Chakwera come 2019. He will be the first president to govern Malawi for five years and let alone Mthalika to return back to US if he will have clean record failing which wakundende plus his cronies we need money back. Media please that is a good stand without media government… Read more »

The media must continue to be the true voice for the people, Attending news conferences does not mean it has to be reported It is the media’s job to report all ill government behavior from all parties and members of parliment to be the people’s watch dog whether critical or fair the people will decide. Do not let Parliament forget they work at the mercy of the citizens of Malawi. That government is to work for all the people rich or poor to ensure a better place to live and grow as a nation. Not just for a few politians… Read more »

You can never see any tangible results as long as Molande, a Poet heading the Communications Diretorate at the State House. The man was completely misplaced.

This is very interesting media. The moment you stop writing about DPP and its government the more you are not exposing their shortfalls and the more you make people not know the evils of this government and the more you are giving it chances to win the next elections. Try it and see the damage you will make

Blackout does not mean they will stop writing about DPP and Govt. They will simply write without being invited to functions or seeking clarification. I support the move, esp on MACRA.

The media is not saying they will “stop writing about DPP and its government” – what they have said is “they might stop attending press conferences organised by State House and/or the President” if the present set up of such Press Conferences continues. Please, understand the meaning intended by the communicator, not what you have in your mind

Your so called “Black out” was needed yesterday. What impact will that black out bring to Malawians. We were tired of your non-sense reports – reports based on rumours. Shame on your lecturers or tutors who taught you how to spoil your profession. What kind of a reporter are you – happy with someone’s death including that of your own grand mother. I thank God for not being a Reporter – who always looks around for non-sense things to say about others when you have a lot of too stupid stories of themselves and their families. Malawian reporters have turned… Read more »

“No coverage” is better than “Non-sense coverage”.
