World Press Day 2024: DOPF Reaffirms Commitment to Professionalism and Ethical Journalism

As the world marks World Press Day, the Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) has reiterated its dedication to upholding professional and ethical standards in online publishing in Nigeria.

This year’s theme, “A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the face of the Environmental Crisis,” highlights the critical role journalists play in addressing environmental challenges.

DOPF in a statement signed by its Chairman, Emmanuel Enebeli, and Secretary-General, Shedrack Onitsha, emphasized the importance of responsible journalism in the digital age.

“As journalists and media professionals, it is our collective responsibility to recognize the critical role we play in addressing environmental issues,” the statement emphasized.

The environmental crisis demands urgent attention and action from the media community. DOPF urges journalists and media managers to leverage their platforms to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote sustainable solutions.

The forum stressed that, through accurate and insightful reporting, journalists can empower individuals and communities to take action to protect the planet for future generations.

DOPF calls on all journalists to seize this opportunity to be agents of change and champions for environmental sustainability. By promoting professionalism, ethics, and service, DOPF remains committed to upholding the highest standards in online publishing in Nigeria.

Together, let us work towards a future where journalism serves as a powerful force for positive change in the face of the environmental crisis.
