Imphal, March 09:
To deal with the pressure mounted by some organisations on the newspaper houses over publication of news item a meeting was held between the Editors of the newspapers and the Standing Committee of the All Manipur Working Journalists' Union today at the Manipur Press Club premises.
After due deliberations, AMWJU decided to appeal to all to stick by the Code of Conduct (Local Adjustment) announced by AMWJU.
A number of organisations have been abiding by the Code, which lays down that any statement issued by any organisation should come on the letter head of the organisation with the signatory of the statement made clear, said AMWJU in a statement today.
However there have been times when some organisations have not heeded the code and instead exert pressure on the media.
AMWJU appealed to all concerned not to exert undue pressure on the media.
