This is a flagrant disregard for basic journalistic ethics

Dec 20, 2013 Letters

 
Dear Editor,
I am now comfortable to write on the issuance of the Permission of a Geological and Geophysical Survey (PGGS) issued to Muri Brazil Ventures Inc., following several revelations by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment and information provided by stakeholders within the gold mining sector.
As a medium scale progressive miner, this matter has been of special interest to me, just as many other concerned Guyanese, particularly miners. At first, I thought that APNU and the media, particularly Stabroek News have a very good case as it related to the information that the APNU Member and newspaper churned out.
However, despite the big hullabaloo by APNU and Stabroek News, the facts provided by the Ministry, Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), the Private Sector, Miners, Muri Brazil Ventures Inc. and other stakeholders involved decimated the sinister plan to implicate the Minister and the GGMC of any wrong doing or secret deal with the mining company as it was implied.
Despite the revelations that exposed APNU and Stabroek News, there have been no apologies or retractions for the disrepute and aspersions brought upon the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, the GGMC and the mining sector as a whole.
This is a flagrant disregard for basic journalistic and professional ethics on part by the Stabroek News and APNU’s Joseph Harmon, respectively. The recent episodes of sensational and scandalous writing and comments occur too often without any validation and as such those culpable should be sanctioned by the relevant authorities, legal or otherwise the same trend is bound to continue.
Stabroek News and APNU have been exposed for their unwarranted attacks on miners; the sector has taken note of these continuous attacks over the past few weeks and the facts and clarifications which adequately dispel the misinformation.
