President Goodluck Jonathan warned the media yesterday to desist from celebrating terrorists in their reports.

The President said this would discourage them from carrying out more attacks.

Jonathan spoke in Abuja at the launch a book, titled: What They Don’t Teach You in Journalism, written by a broadcaster, Orji Ogbonnaya Orji.

The President, represented by Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, noted that though the public should be informed about happenings in the society, terrorists should not take the most important part of the news.

According to him, terrorists “need publicity to be recognised and they depend on the media, but they do not deserve the type of publicity the media are giving them”.

Jonathan said reports on terrorism should not be written to incite the people against one another, against religions and the government, but to make the people unite against terrorism.
