Business and economic journalists have been asked to simplify their reporting on economic developments taking place in the country.
\nThe call was made in Mangochi Disctrict during a financial and economic literacy workshop organised by the Ministry of Information with support from the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM).
\nDuring the workshop, journalists were drilled in different aspects of the economy that included monetary policy formulation and implementation and understanding the nature of the economy.
\nMinister of Information, Nicholus Dausi, said journalists play a critical role in disseminating information.
\nHe said the country is having a stable economy and the benefits can only trickle down to the rural masses if they are able to understand and interpret the changes.
\n\u201cThe ministry, together with the Reserve Bank of Malawi, is relying on you, journalists, to take well-interpreted messages to the communities so that they are able to follow the trends and make better decisions,\u201d Dausi said.
\nHe further said journalists should also be able to sensitise Malawians on the importance of saving culture.
\nRBM Director of Communications and Protocal, Mbane Ngwira, said it is important to have media practitioners that are well-informed on developments in the economy.
\nHe said the bank will always be there to offer support and information to the media, when required.
\n\u201cWe have been working in partnership over the years and we will continue doing so in order to enhance information dissemination to Malawians,\u201d Ngwira said.
\nAssociation of Business Journalists Policy Advisor, Thomas Chafunya, said such trainings help journalists to provide the public with relevant information.
\nHe said business journalists have a big role to play in the economic growth of the country.
\n\u201cWe believe our journalists will now be in a better position to disseminate critical economic information in simplest form so that Malawians are able to understand the economic activities taking place in the country,\u201d Chafunya said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
