The stray bullet wounding of National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) senior journalist Ms Gwendella Rea was quite unfortunate and it again exposed the precarious environment the media industry operates in. That is according to NBC Managing Director Mr Kora Nou in a statement. “I happened to be at the same hospital when Gwendella was brought in by PNG Power staff after she caught a stray bullet in her left arm from an unrelated incident in their vicinity”. “Along with PNG Power and NBC news staff, we ensured Gwendella was treated for her wounds after x-rays showed a fracture in her left arm and she was admitted for further observation.” He was relieved after visiting her, stating it could have been worse and she was just doing her journalistic work. “This again demonstrates the real danger that our media workers are exposed to in their daily pursuit for information to give to our people.” “I thank the quick-thinking officers of PNG Power for taking her to safety and then to Paradise Private.” Mr Nou further added that NBC will assist the police in their investigation in the coming days to bring the perpetrators to account for their actions. “However, our overriding care and concern is for Gwendella to ensure she recovers from this traumatic incident and receives the medical attention she deserves.”
