TimesLive reports that one of two journalists suspended by City Press on 30 August pending the completion of a disciplinary investigation has returned to work.
The pair was apparently placed on suspension for allegedly trying to extort money from a person they were writing a story about. But in a letter dated 6 October, the Media24HR manager advised one of the reporters that misconduct could not be confirmed after an internal investigation into the matter. The letter stated that the reporter's suspension was lifted as of Thursday and that he could enter the work premises, report for duty and continue with the company business. The reporter’s access to internal email platforms was restored and his access card and other company equipment returned to him.
