RSNC GM Tasks Correspondents On Professionalism

The General Manager of Rivers State Newspaper Corporation (RSNC), publishers of The Tide Newspaper, Chief Ernest Chinwo, has tasked the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Rivers State on professionalism.
Chinwo gave the advice yesterday during a courtesy visit by the Chapel to the corporation.
“I want to advise you that in terms of doing your jobs, do it better because you do not know who is watching you. Perhaps, it is the work I have been doing that led me into serving today as GM,” Chinwo said.
According to him, “whenever you carry out your profession diligently, there is a reward for you up front”. He said that as journalists, “we should know that whatever that is published in the media is for public consumption.
“People are seeing it, some time, it counts for us good, sometime, it counts for us bad. We should be remembered for good so that people may not come after us”, he said.
“Let us do our job the way we were taught to do as it will speak for us in the larger society,” he stated.
He used the medium to thank the media and the security agencies for their role in the release of the NTA reporter, Mrs Chidiebere Onyia who was kidnapped recently.
He thanked the Correspondents Chapel for their visit, noting that he is still part and parcel of the Chapel.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Rivers State Council, Mr Amaechi Okonkwo, stated that the visit was to congratulate their former chairman, Mr Ernest Chinwo, on his appointment as the GM of RSNC and to extend their cordial relationship to the management of the corporation.
He assured the management of RSNC that the GM, being one of their own, would receive their fullest support.
The chairman thanked the management of RSNC for the warm reception accorded them.
