ACM’s calls for swift and impartial police investigation into shooting
The Association of Caribbean Media Workers (ACM) condemns the recent shooting outside
Nationwide News Network’s Offices in Kingston, Jamaica and calls on the police to conduct
a swift and impartial investigation into the matter.
ACM views the shooting incident as an assault on all the press in Jamaica. Any assault on
the media, verbal or otherwise should not be tolerated and should be condemned by all and
sundry. Our media workers, especially our journalists and others who work directly in news
gathering should be allowed to do their jobs without fear or intimidation.
During a special meeting with the Press Association of Jamaica, ACM recommitted to
providing support to our colleagues affected by this act and will be in contact with regional as
well as international partners bringing attention to this act.
