Stephen Cummings, senior broadcast journalist at Radio 98.1 FM, sat with Minister of Communications Symon de Nobriga on February 1, 2023 to discuss press freedom, in the wake of the controversial decision to limit attendance at press conferences at the Diplomatic Centre.

The Communications Minister was interviewed on Cummings’ Citizens Community Forum, a one-hour current affairs programme aired from 8–9pm every Wednesday.
