Speaking when she signed signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nyika Media Club (NMC) in Mzuzu a few days ago, NICE Public Relations and Communications Officer, Grace Hara, said journalists have a critical role in promoting democracy and good governance; hence, the need for her organization to partner with them.
“On its own, NICE Public Trust cannot manage to reach every stakeholder with messages. But through the media, the Trust is able to inform the citizenry on issues, elections and good governance,” said Hara.
Grace Hara and Feston Malekezo
NMC is a media institution whose members practice their journalism in the Northern Region of Malawi.
The MoU between NICE Public Trust and NMC is therefore aimed at promoting public access to balanced information on various governance issues, including elections and promoting active citizenship through objective reporting.

NMC chairperson Feston Malekezo described the agreement as a milestone in the advancement of professional and responsible journalism, adding that the club and its members will endeavor to disseminate information that is accurate and verified.
The MoU is effective for a period of three years, with the option to renew.
