Marcouk Reports Media Law Comments to Parliament

The Lebanese government has taken an important step toward updating media legislation through a new draft law aimed at abolishing imprisonment penalties for journalists, and reducing political and security interference in the sector. The project includes the establishment of an independent national authority to regulate the media, and the development of official media institutions as a mirror of the state's message. It also promotes transparency and accountability by organizing the operation of online platforms and establishing controls for owners and managers. Additionally, the draft addresses the fight against false news and hate speech. It facilitates the creation of media institutions based on the principle of "knowledge and news" instead of requiring prior licensing, while ensuring media independence and developing the official media sector through a unified national company.
