According to music entrepreneur Soso Soberekon, most celebrities turn down requests for interviews from several Nigerian journalists.
Soberekon observed that many high-profile celebrities shun interviews with some media outlets because of their subpar packaging, which in turn has an impact on their staff.
He continued by saying that the sector has developed beyond what it once was and that physical appearance is important in the course of employment.
“Packaging is important in journalism, you just need to package yourself. There are ways a certain media house and its reporters package themselves that everyone wants to jump on whatever they do but the problem I have with so many other newspapers and media houses is that they don’t package their staffs. The way some journalists dress amazes me sometimes with bad shoes but some of them dress well as well,” he said.
He made this known during an Instagram live session with three entertainment journalists, Kehinde Ajose, Adeniyi Adewoyin, and Sampson Unamka.
The CEO of White Lion group also urges journalists to stop sensational journalism. According to him, distances entertainers from journalists.
