Unregistered online media houses spark concerns

THE Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe (VMCZ) has expressed concern over the increasing number of complaints against unregistered online media houses operating in the country.

In a statement, VMCZ said it had noted several media outlets that were operating illegally making it difficult to mediate disputes and uphold standards of professionalism.

It said lack of transparency surrounding these online media platforms, physical offices and ownership identities has raised eyebrows.
