No intimidation: GBC CEO slams attempts to target reporters or their families

Amid the rising temperature of exchanges over the Report, GBC's CEO has issued a statement.

James Neish said:

“Attempts to target individual reporters or their families to deflect scrutiny, or for any other reason, cross a line."

He said: "As CEO and Editor-in-Chief of GBC, I will not tolerate intimidation and stand firmly by the integrity of our journalism."

“GBC has an important role to play in holding power to account, and that includes fair and accurate reporting on matters raised in the Principal Auditor’s report. 

Fabian Picardo shared James Neish's statement online and said journalists must be allowed to exercise their job freely.
