President of The
Gambia Press Union, Bai Emil Touray, has said “capacity on environment issues
is at low ebb since there are little reports on environmental issues on [local]
radio stations and newspapers.”
The protection of the
environment is a collective responsibility - especially for journalists, Mr
Touray told a March 15 Biodiversity Action Journalists The Gambia (BAJ-Gambia)-organised training workshop for editors, web designers and radio
producers at Wellingara Horticulture Model Centre.
He said it is
important that journalists provide the people with accurate and timely
information on environmental matters – and encourages BAJ and its partners to
not only train journalists but also embark on research projects.
