The Guyana Press Association (GPA) says that it condemns the singling out and exclusion of any media house or media worker/journalist from any event. In an email to media houses today, Giftland Group of Companies identified NewsSource and Journalist, Gordon Moseley as being excluded from its press conference today.
The GPA said that it stands by all of its media workers and recognised entities in rejecting the “targeting” of media workers and media houses.
“This exclusion is a direct attack on a media house and should be rejected outrightly by all media workers and media houses. GPA calls on media houses to boycott any event in which our colleagues are excluded from,” a statement issued by GPA’s President, Nazima Raghubir said.
Giftland’s spokesperson has since rescinded the exclusion but noted that the company has done so “although Mr. Moseley has frequently in the past presented wrong and biased news against the Giftland Group”.
