Media world: Editors at the communication minister’s office

The meeting held on Monday February 8th between editors and the HAT communication minister was an opportunity to address a certain number of headlines’ topics. Both sides assessed the election of a new board for the Order of Journalists, as well as the communication code project, and the job’s statute’s professional capitalization. 

The editors have carefully been selected for this meeting with Nathalie Rabe. They are actually the ones in charge of press statements’ judicial compliance. 

Few months after her appointment, Nathalie Rabe is being sharply criticized, even in the transitional regime’s circle. She is being blamed, namely in relation to the doubtful way to deal with the protestant church’s Radio Fahazavana radio station, as well as for the ambiguous sanction directed at Radio Viva radio station, belonging to the transitional leader, Andry Rajoelina. The minister in charge of communication is also disparaged for her reluctance to “communicate” with journalists, who are regretting the systematic slammed doors at their faces whenever they are striving to collect information and reactions from the ministry in the run of top headlines’ events related to this ministerial department.
