The Union of Journalists of South Sudan or UJoSS called upon journalists in South Sudan to be aware of the kind of information they pass to the community.
UJoSS program coordinator Kidi Samuel said in an interview that journalists need to educate themselves on classified and unclassified information that can be accessed by the public.
He said the cause for underdevelopment is due to limited access to right information adding that UJoSS is planning strategies to create wide public awareness to ensure that people are able to own the law.
Mr Kidi stresses that without the public and the government institutions knowing the law, it will be difficult for journalists to access information in the various sectors both in the government and non-governmental organizations in the country.
UJoSS is one of the bodies to protect journalists’s rights in South Sudan.
