Chairman: Mr Victor Agusiobo

This sub-committee takes charge of media publicity in accordance with the guidelines set out in #1.4 of the general terms of reference.

Public perception of the entire initiative will depend on the success or failure of media relations to focus attention on the unfolding events and to rouse a positive public response to the efforts of civil society to take moral control.
