Imphal, December 13 2013 :
Asserting that Editors' Guild, Manipur has been formed to tackle various pressures faced by media houses as per the collective resolution of 28 editors during a meeting on Dec 7 at Hotel Classic, the Editors' Guild Manipur has today said that the editors' body and All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) are not parallel bodies, but complementary bodies having separate interests.
The editors' body has been formed as AMWJU had thrust the responsibility of editorial policy and editorial rights to the editors of concerned media houses, a statement issued by the secretary general of EGM, Yumnam Rupachandra said.
Editors' Forum, Manipur and Editors' Committee, Manipur have been amalgamated to form Editors' Guild, Manipur, the statement said.
It further urged all concerned public and civil society organisations to approach the EGM for redressal of grievances in case of misunderstanding with media house/s instead of resorting to show grudge against any media organisation.
It said that the Guild would warmly welcome suggestions.
However, the Guild would not take any responsibility in regard to media houses whose editors are not members of the EGM.
