Thanks Racheal and all who contributed to today's debate.

These are the concerns were were able to deduce in today's discussion:

1. Should the media council consist solely of journalists and media
professionals?

2. If the MCK should consist of diverse professionals, which particular
ones? And should there be a minimum number of media professionals in a
multi-disciplinary MCK? Suggestions that five of seven then should be drawn from media.

3. The need for clear affirmative action where a third of the seven should be women / men who meet those requirements.

4. MCK Members may not be state officers but should prescribe to leadership and integrity principles as stated in chapter 6 of the Constitution

5. It is difficult to measure/quantify a distinguished career.
