JUBA, MARCH 30, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – South Sudan’s Media Authority, the body that regulates the work of the media in the country, on Wednesday announced that journalists in the world’s youngest country have until 30 June 2023 to obtain accreditation.

“Media Authority reminds professional journalists who have not been accredited to process their accreditation from media authority before June 30th, 2023,” read part of a statement issued by the regulator on Wednesday.

It stressed a need for journalists to get accredited to certify recognition of their work in accordance with the regulation on accreditation of journalists issued in 2018.

“The accreditation shall be granted only to an individual upon presentation of professional certificates, a recommendation letter duly issued by the media agency for which the media professional works, and filed application form which will be made available by the Media Authority,” it added.

The body started the accreditation process for local journalists in October last year.

According to Media Authority Regulations on Accreditation of Journalists, 2018, journalists who shall qualify to be accredited include all qualified national journalists, editors-in-chief, managing editors and copy Editors, freelance journalists, student journalists and trainees, foreign journalists, and cartoonists.

South Sudan has 230 registered media houses, but only 100 are functional across the country.
