In a related development, the Chief Press Secretary to Delta State Governor, Sir Festus Ahon has praised members of Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) for keeping faith with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration through their reportage.
Ahon made the commendation during a media parley with Executive members of DOPF in Ughelli, Delta State on Saturday.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Forum, Mr. Emmanuel Enebeli said it was essential to highlight the need for an improved and more cooperative relationship between the Delta State Government and the Delta Online Publishers Forum pointing out that DOPF plays a vital role in disseminating information to the masses by providing a platform for open dialogue and helping to hold the government accountable to its promises.
“One of the key areas where we believe this collaboration can be strengthened”, he said, “is in advert placement on the websites of DOPF members.
“By increasing patronage of advertising on these websites, the government besides enjoying the benefit reaching people with information about it policies and programmes, thereby carrying them along, will be helping the forum to continue its important work of providing credible news and information to the public.
“This not only supports responsible journalism, but it also benefits local businesses and entrepreneurs by increasing their visibility and most importantly provides the government with a wider, more expansive scope, especially in this digital era where online platforms have become the veritable first preference for information sourcing and consumption, for thousands of Indigenes and citizens who traffic extensively round the clock, across these news portals, through their Smartphones”.
