DURING
his meeting with staff of state-owned newspapers, Deputy Minister for
Information U Aung Hla Tun said the duty of newspaper persons was to report
news from Myanmar accurately and effectively to the world media, while the duty
of the Ministry of Information is to demonstrate the voice of Myanmar.
Yesterday,
the Deputy Minister, for the first time, met with state-owned newspapers Myanma
Alinn, Kyemon, Myanmar News Agency (Internal), Myanmar News Agency (External),
chief editors and editorial groups of newspapers in Nay Pyi Taw and their staff
at Kyaemon newspaper house, Zeyathiri Township, Nay Pyi Taw.
“Compared
with other news agencies, the news appearing in our newspapers is considered to
be weak in news value and presentation. There is a need to intensify
observation and provide follow-ups. It is good to meet with the staff and know
about their work, requirements and difficulties,” said the Deputy Minister.
Furthermore,
the Deputy Minister discussed fulfilling the requirements of the staff,
especially providing them with a good internet connection, as newspaper work
requires such facilities to provide timely news. The basic infrastructure
required for the work site must be developed, besides the systematic
development of human resources, livelihood, health and education of families of
the staff living in staff houses of the newspaper.
The
Deputy Minister also mentioned the aim of the ministry to conduct courses to
increase the quality of the newsrooms, as well as courses on news editing,
reform of newsrooms, management and news page organisations. Next, the Deputy
Minister inspected the training rooms in Myanma Alinn and Kyemon.
