In a recent development, state media outlet PSM has issued an apology and suspended two staff members after airing inappropriate content during the 7:00 PM English news on Tuesday. The incident has been deemed a significant breach of the company’s content and editorial guidelines.
PSM released a statement emphasizing the gravity of the situation, noting that it involved a severe oversight. “Following an investigation, two employees found to be negligent have been suspended. Their case has been forwarded to the company’s relevant committee for further review and necessary accountability measures,” the statement read.
In response to this incident, PSM has announced plans to overhaul its standard operating procedures and restructure operational aspects to prevent future occurrences. Additionally, PSM recently apologized for another lapse during a live event broadcast, where a portion of the Quran was unintentionally omitted. This error was attributed to control room staff negligence, leading to their dismissal from duties.
PSM remains committed to maintaining high standards of broadcasting integrity as it addresses these issues.
