The Cameroon English Language Newspapers Publishers Association (CENPA) will distribute protective kits to all media houses in the country in the days ahead.
The President of the Cameroon English Language Newspapers Publishers Association (CENPA), Kristian Ngah Christian says journalists are even more vulnerable, unlike health personnel, because in the line of their duties in collecting information, they get in contact with people of all walks of life on a daily basis whose status they do not know.
It is within this backdrop that CENPA is setting up a project to donate protective kits such as hand-wash buckets, hand sanitizers, face masks, washing soaps and disinfectants to media organs around the country to support them in protecting their staff and journalists as they go about reporting on the Coronavirus pandemic.
Because journalists are determined to keep the public informed and educated on the development concerning Coronavirus spread and efforts to contain it, CENPA President said they felt the urgent need to accompany the government in its efforts in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.
At the end of the exercise, CENPA hopes that every news organ would have received hand-wash buckets, hand sanitizers, a good quantity of face masks, washing soap and disinfectants.
