KUCHING: The media industry has evolved so much since the days of the typewriter that there is now need for a separate ethics code that can serve as parameters globally.
“This is in order that we use the tool (communication) professionally without misusing it for other agenda,” said Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, Sunday.
The Sarawak Premier was addressing delegates at the Sarawak Media Conference (SMeC) in conjunction with the third Hari Wartawan National (Hawana) gathering at the Riverside Majestic, here.
Among those present were Unity and Telecommunications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, representatives of media organisations and observers from several countries.
