MEDIA professionals have been urged to imbibe the truth in the daily discharge of their duties.

Founder, The Institute for Innovation, Integration & Impact Incorporated, Mr. Brett Johnson, who gave the advice, yesterday, during a visit to Vanguard, said it is the responsibility of the media to dig for the truth and tell the truth at all times, as this will help bring about positive development in the economy.

Johnson said, “Not everyone has the capacity to search for the truth; but it is the responsibility of journalists to seek out the truth and communicate it for everyone. It is important that journalists know, love and communicate the truth, because telling the truth means one is doing the work of God. This is especially as God is a journalist. The Bible says God is the Word; He is the truth and is particular about people in the journalism profession.”
