Ghen Ghen! Punch threatens to sue Vanguard, Thisday & The Sun

The Punch newspaper has threatened to sue Vanguard newspaper, the SUN and Thisday over a fake advertorial published on different days by the newspapers.

Punch has given the newspapers 5 days to tender a public apology and publish it prominently in their respective newspapers or face litigation.

Here's the genesis of the problem: A faceless group known as 'Agents for Collective Transparency", an anti-Jonathan group, photoshopped the cover pages of Punch newspapers and put copies of the pictures in advert form and gave Thisday, Sun & Vanguard to publish as advert, which the papers did.

Punch now says it has affected their integrity which is politically neutral. Also, the photoshopped headlines targeted against GEJ were never published in the real Punch newspaper, they were all fake stories. The affected newspapers are yet to react.

So every sphere in Nigeria is affected with this unprofessional disease? I think it is probably because they gave them a load of money and they didn't even bother investigating the authenticity of the material they were given to advertise! But the fact that 3 newspapers are caught up in this, makes you wonder the crap we have being reading before!

There is freedom of press isn't there? so i think Punch needs to chill, they have made noise true or false we have heard. But on the other hand the other papers should have verified and removed the PUNCH logo before publishing.

It is sad that the hard news media in nigeria for so many years have become untrustworthy.i stopped believing anything on the news because this minute you hear a report , the next you hear an outright contradictory report from the same station. Abeg whatever battle they want to fight they should fight.Gone are the days of ethical,honest vibrant enthusiastic journalism.Until Integrity becomes a nigeran motto,these things will not stop happening.

This is serious, they should be verifying before they publish. They won't because they want to make money.
