According to the IMC Chief, among the over one hundred media institutions licensed to operate in Sierra Leone, the AYV Media Empire has been the best so far in terms of meeting media ethics and professionalism in news, operations, administration, entertainments and information.
“As chairman of the Commission, I am very confident to walk along with and display the AYV newspaper, listen to its radio station and above all boast of its television channel in any part of the world. AYV’s television broadcast contents and language proficiency is clean, perfect and advance at all levels.
Its newspaper’s contents are professional and ethical and its radio broadcast contents are professional and up to the task. All its print and electronic programmes could be compared to those of professional international media outlets across the world.
We at the IMC are very much proud and boastful of AYV Media Empire as it has been one of the few top media institutions that have never been complained to the IMC for reckless journalism. We are encouraging you to continue the good work of being professional and not violating the Media Code of Practice and Public Order Act among other ethics and professionalism regulatory statutes.” Ambassador Kanu ended up.
