…Says you fought colonial masters, military rule, you’ve to deepen democracy By Clifford Ndujihe, Politics Editor VICE President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN; former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba; Publisher of Vanguard Newspapers, Mr. Sam Amuka; and a cream of captains of the media industry, yesterday, celebrated nine media icons, who passed on, recently. Showering torrents of tributes on the deceased icons, the Vice president and the leaders said the late media pillars charted a course that journalists must thread to turn the fortunes of the country around. Specifically, Osinbajo, who delivered the keynote address, noted that the media fought for independence, and against military rule, adding that now that Nigeria is at a defining moment, the mainstream media must fight fake news, keep elected leaders on their toes and deepen democracy.

Celebrating the Guild, inspiring the living and honouring the departed

Punch Newspapers Sections Lanre Idowu Published 20 May 2021 Sixty years ago, on Saturday, May 20, 1961, the Nigerian Guild of Editors was born, a child of great hope at the old National Press Club located then at Abibu Oki in the heart of Lagos. It was named the Guild of Newspaper Editors of Nigeria, designed to serve as an exclusive club of professional news managers where editors as the ultimate gatekeepers on media content could come together seasonally to interrogate issues of professional media practice unfettered by labour matters. The editors had been effectively sidelined from the Nigeria Union of Journalists, which predated the Guild by six years, on account that as management staff they could not be trusted to effectively represent the interests of the rank and file journalists.
