Editor suspended over Mbeki story

Zimbabwe’s NewsDay newspaper today said it had suspended its editor Constantine Chimakure over two stories which the publisher, Alpha Media Holdings, said “did not conform to set ethical standards”. The stories carried the headlines; “Mbeki speaks on Zim polls, ‘chaotic’ land reform”, and “Mugabe offers Tsvangirai VP post”. “We feel the stories fell short of the basic journalistic standards set in our ethics guidelines; How we put accuracy to the test, the AMH Code of Ethics and the AMH Pledge whose tenets are fundamental to our operations,” AMH editor-in-Chief Vincent Kahiya said.
