January 25th declared “black January” by media
Several private media organizations, journalists and representatives gathered at town Hall this afternoon and agreed to declare January 25th as “black January” for the media.
The demonstration by the media was earlier scheduled to take place at Fort but the location was changed at the last minute.
Media organizations said that January 25th of every year will be marked as “black January” following a spate of attacks on the media reported every January over the past few years.
Meanwhile government media groups and representatives staged a separate demonstration in Fort against moves to declare January 25th as “black January” by the private media.
