NUJP launches signature campaign against ABS-CBN shutdown
MANILA, Philippines – The National Union of Journalists (NUJP) launched a signature campaign on Friday, January 17, asking Congress to renew the franchise of broadcast giant ABS-CBN, which President Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to block.
“We call on Congress to do what is right and immediately pass the bill to renew ABS-CBN’s franchise,” the NUJP said in its petition, which was signed by media practitioners from various newsrooms as well as advocacy organizations, during the Black Friday protest in Quezon City.
Among those who condemned government efforts to block the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise were AlterMidya, College Editors Guild of the Philippines, National Alliance of Broadcast Union, and the House of Representatives’ Makabayan bloc.
