The Malawi Electoral Commission is today engaging media managers to review how media houses performed in this year’s fresh presidential election and 2019 tripartite elections.
Speaking when opening the conference, MEC Chairperson Justice Chifundo Kachale said they decided to engage the media managers as they play a critical role in disseminating messages about all electoral processes.
Kachale says the media performed impressively in both elections but insists there is still room for improvement in coming activities.
Kachale has disclosed that some media houses were not fair in programing and coverage of both elections, mostly against opposition parties.
One of the media managers, Roselyn Makhambera said the meeting has come at the right time as it will provide an opportunity for the managers to appreciate areas that require improvement ahead of the next General election.
