"It is Oklahoma for a journalist to belong to a political party, but when sent to cover political relation or elections, be a journalist. Don't fall in a encampment and suddenly turn into a mobiliser," he said.
Kabushenga, who was addressing the group's upcountry newsmen on Friday, said once journalists go partisan, they lose objectivity, equity and accuracy.
He said inaccurate narratives had cost mass media arrangements a batch of money in word form of compensations paid to aggrieved parties.
"Distinguish between rumors and news stories. Don't state prevarications when reporting."

Kaija urged the journalists to detect deadlines.
