Media group condemns action of attorney

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) Thursday said it was concerned that an attorney representing two Olympic medalists had seized recordings of an interview conducted by local journalists.
“Except for threat to life or a court order they should, under no other circumstances, hand over notes or recordings to parties outside of their professional supervision” PAJ said in a statement.
“Journalists are committed to the public and should use every opportunity to ask important questions without fear or favour. The information relayed must stand up to professional scrutiny.”
