The Guyana Press Association (GPA) has expressed dismay at the treatment meted out by politicians to media workers in the course of their official duties including displays of aggression and vulgarity, and the sidelining of journalists and media houses deemed to be ‘not friendly.’
In a release yesterday, the GPA reported that over the past several months, some of its members across the country have voiced concerns about acts of harassment, aggression, intimidation, and non-cooperation by politicians across the political spectrum, who it would seem are attempting to normalise the targeting of media houses and media workers in various forms.
