THE call for freedom of information has been heard... with conditions from City Hall.
In a meeting with newsstand vendors and owners on Tuesday morning, December 15, City Hall officials agreed to give vendors six months to operate their street side stalls.
Attending the meeting were journalists, publishers and general managers of newspaper organizations who have all cried foul over the move to evict the newspaper vendors of their stalls in a bid to assert their importance to the information chain.
