The Society of Energy Editors (SEE), a newly established professional body, has come into operation to connect the links, promote excellence in energy journalism and strengthen the gatekeeping function of the media in the energy sector.
The Executive Secretary of the SEE, Mr. Chuks Isiwu,conveyed its birth in a statement on Wednesday.
The group emphasised its commitment to indepth knowledge and nuanced reporting in the energy industry, which has been lacking in recent times.
Isiwu maintained that given the complexities of energy issues, it is imperative that media professionals covering the sector have a deep understanding of its operations, government policies, and regulatory frameworks.
He added that membership of the Society is open to experienced journalists, editors, producers, and media professionals who have demonstrated a commitment to accurate and impactful reporting on energy issues.
He said:”Members are expected to uphold the highest standards of journalistic ethics and professionalism, continually enhance their knowledge of the energy sector (oil, gas, power, solid minerals, community relations, renewable energy, labour relations, energy finance, freight, & technology,) and actively engage in mentoring and knowledge sharing”.
