Free Press is a MUST Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Matongo Maumbi, Zambia Feb 19, 2005
Citizen Journalism   Opinions

  


As former US President James Madison wrote, “a popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue or a farce or a tragedy; or perhaps both.” We need to have a popular government with popular information and undeniable means of accessing it. Remember, the right of the people to speak out through a free press is the hallmark for a democratic society.

Writer Profile
Matongo Maumbi


Matongo Maumbi aka Afromatrix, is a producer at Radio Chikuni in southern rural Zambia on 91.8fm. I have been a practicing journalist since 2000 and ICTs for development in rural areas and youth related issues have been of particular interest. I have an interest in writing, and when I do it's a good piece. I believe that sharing such information with a wider group can enhance good growth on my part in Chikuni and the other parts of the world.
I am male and 24 years old, single and hope to marry the girl I have intimate emotions with.
