Editors' Union reviews Media Law changes

The Lebanese Journalists Syndicate discussed the new media law with MP Gebran Bassil, during which he pointed out that the law was approved in the parliamentary council without the amendments proposed by the syndicate, and that the legislative process was carried out without prior consultation with the MPs. The discussion covered the need to abolish custodial penalties, which include articles such as Article 104, and to amend Article 115 related to the establishment of syndicates. Additionally, there was a call to replace the term "publication crimes" with "publication violations," and to clearly define the roles of journalists and media professionals. The meeting was held in response to the syndicate’s request to correct loopholes in the law, emphasizing the importance of protecting freedom of media and combating false information. Both sides agreed to continue dialogue to amend the law in a way that safeguards journalists' interests and freedom of expression in Lebanon.
