Viana — The vice-minister of Social Communication, Miguel de Carvalho "Wadijimbi", said on Saturday in Luanda that media is a privileged vehicle for divulging information and actions of any kind to the citizens.

The official said so while addressing a workshop on "The Role played by media in handling issues related to youth" in Viana's Youth House.

He said that media organs perform three basic functions, namely information, training and recreation.

To the deputy minister, media is dependent on telecommunications and without the development of these media and there is no media that works."

According to him, the media can be turned into courts for discussing issues that preoccupy young people, encouraging them to interactive spaces for dialogue that help youth meet.

"The role played by media is important in addressing issues related to youth because a society without young people and social communication is almost inexistent", said Miguel de Carvalho.
