“Its not the killings but it’s the media” – Chronicle reader

Regular Chronicle readers have condemned the Chronicle newspaper for constantly leading with stories about killings.

Readers who spoke to this blog said the paper was raising alarm and despondency by blowing killings happening in the city out of proportion.

“I am now afraid to travel even at dusk because these killings are just being blown out of proportion,” said Sinokuhle Ncube, a regular Chronicle reader. “Ever since we grew up we have always heard about these killings, but not to such an extent as these days. I think it is the media, not the killings themselves”.

Meanwhile, Mbuso Fuzwayo, Ibhetshu likaZulu secretary said the media should desist from publishing issues that will cause harm to society. He said family papers should concentrate on nation building rather than frightening society.
