The Union of Journalist of South Sudan or UJOSS in collaboration with Forcier organization after carrying out survey on the working conditions of journalists in South Sudan discovered that employers do not contract reporters according to the national Public Services laws.
The survey concluded that ‘despites all challenges journalists face such as low pay, harassments, insecurity, threats, press censorship and unequal treatment, they still love their job.
UJOSS chairperson Oliver Modi Philip told directors, media houses representatives and national Labour and Public Service ministry officials that employers do not treat many journalists based on the country’s regulations, Radio Bakhita reported.
Labour and Public Service ministry Director-General Clement Philemon describes the media as a breathing nose of every country in the world and that live media indicates that the country is alive.
The Citizens Newspaper and Television Director Nial Bol Aken argues that the capability and output of journalists is one difficulty facing reporters mostly not the issue of salaries.
