Anicet Laurent Qunum, author of a book on media and their role as communicators (see RAP 21 newsletter n 89), asks RAP 21 West African members to complete a questionnaire on the issue of the social responsability of journalists. Mr Qunum is also head of the publication section at the Center of Economic and Social Studies for West Africa in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.
Mr Qunum’s initiative aims to "put in evidence the fact that the pen has as much impact as the cannon, and that it is up to journalists to work permanently with this postulate in mind."
Mr Qunum’s survey seeks to answer the question: do all the truths deserve to be said?
The opinions and reflections collected will be reproduced, with mention of their authors, in a book which will be published and widely distributed.
To receive a copy of the questionnaire, contact laurentquenum@yahoo.fr
