Code of conduct for media on the anvil: Cheema
ISLAMABAD: The government will soon issue a special code of conduct for the media, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said on Tuesday.
“The Information Ministry is busy finalising a code of conduct for the media in consultation with the stakeholders, and it will be issued shortly,” Cheema told Daily Times by telephone.
He did not, however, say when the code would be issued. He said Interior Ministry officials were part of the process to finalise the code. In a press statement, he said the government had decided to opt for emergency rule after thorough deliberations. “The government had two choices, one was to watch things worsening, and the other was to take extraordinary steps to tackle an extraordinary situation,” he said.
