New Media Law Gaps and Reforms

The Lebanese Parliament approved the new Media Law with the aim of unifying and organizing all forms of media, including print, television, and electronic media, after decades of legislative fragmentation; however, the text faces fundamental flaws related to guarantees of freedom and the role of the National Media Authority, as well as issues in the drafting of articles concerning crimes of incitement and lying, and a lack of clarity regarding the authority's powers and independence. Despite progress in including electronic media, challenges remain related to classifications and standards, along with the need to eliminate imprisonment for press-related cases and to complete a regulatory framework that ensures a balance between regulating the profession and safeguarding constitutional rights to media freedom.
