In the meeting, Union Minister U Maung Maung Ohn said that as the role of the media is important, it is necessary to act correctly in the interests of the state and people forever. Media needs to be flexible with modern systems and consistent with state policies. Some media outlets are spreading fake news and rumours, therefore people lose the right to know the truth. The Union minister thanked the media companies because they have been cooperating with governments for the people through the ages. Media companies need to broadcast good news and continue participating in the task of ensuring peace and stability of the State.
