Excell’Com 2016-Cameroon:National Communication Council to award Journalists come December 2016

NCC In Image Cleansing Since the creation of the National Communication Council, media practitioners in the country have the opinion that it is another arm of the government to muzzle the press. The NCC has always given them reasons to think in that direction with sanctions ranging from suspension to warning of media men and organs.

The National Communication Council has spent its few years of existence running behind Journalists with whip. The new president, formerly vice president Peter Essoka has often been on the offensive, calling to order media practitioners. But their outing in Cameroon's economic Capital Tuesday September 6, 2016 has been described as‘cleansing the image’ propaganda.

Peter Essoka disclosed in a press briefing that the NCC will be awarding Journalists come December 16 and 17 in what they termed Excell’Com 2016. He however did not disclose the criteria or the deadline for application but told the press that members of the Jury will inform them on a later date. 15 Journalists will be rewarded for their hard work in contributing to the growth of media landscape and Nation building.
