Ziro, Oct 23: Following strong reaction by the Arunachal Pradesh Union of Working Journalists (APUWJ) over an "order" which it said undermines the freedom of the press,  the Lower Subansiri Deputy Commissioner Bamin Nime has expressed regret over the said order which inadvertently mentioned print media as well.
Clarifying on the matter, Nime said that the said order was issued with an aim to improvise the news reporting etiquettes and standards of the local based electronic and social media journalists who had attended the official function of the Kisan Credit Card distribution function held at the District Secretariat on October 19 last. 
"The said order was only meant to reprise the local electronic journalists to project correct and unbiased reporting and the mention of print media was also inadvertently mentioned in the same which is unfortunate," he said, while adding that there was no any print media journalist at the said function.
Making it clear that there is no animosity between the District Administration and the local electronic journalists of the District, Nime said, ‘very soon the DA in collaboration with IPR Department will hold a joint consultative meeting with our local journalists to clear the small family misunderstanding and also conduct a media orientation session for our young journalists," he further added.
