4.10 Journalists and other media practitioners are organised in trade unions and/or professional associations, which effectively represent their interests. Owners of private radio and television stations have formed an association (Union des Radios et Télévisions Libres de Guinée URTELGUI) and newspaper journalists can join the Guinean Journalists Association (l’Association des Journalistes de Guinée, AJG), OGUIDEM and AGUIPEL. Public sector journalists belong to two formations: the RTG trade union and the union of the Ministry of Communication, which is affiliated to the powerful National Confederation of Guinean Workers (Confédération Nationale des Travailleurs de Guinée, CNTG). So far, there is no trade union in the private sector. Many of these associations are poorly run. The weak organisational capacity of journalists associations has delayed the start of a newspaper store that the French Cooperation Department offered to help set up in 2008.
