Arab Media Summit: New Law to Boost Press Freedom

The 25th edition of the Arab Media Summit was launched at the Dubai World Trade Center, with the participation of media ministers and media leaders from Arab countries, as well as international officials such as Trump's advisor. Syrian President Ahmad Shara emphasized the importance of conveying the truth professionally and conscientiously amidst regional changes. Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Murrack discussed in a panel session the new media law project, which was approved after 16 years of debate. The law aims to modernize media legislation to keep pace with technological advances and includes reforms such as replacing criminal penalties with fines, organizing electronic media, protecting journalists, and improving transparency, while also fighting hate speech and false news. Murrack also highlighted Lebanon’s progress in international press freedom rankings, its media cooperation with neighboring countries, and the Ministry’s efforts to regulate the activities of influencers and content creators.
