Al-Shorbaji stresses quick, accurate info to combat rumors

Engineer Abdel Sadeq El Shorbagy, Chairman of the National Press Authority, confirmed that the Authority adopts a clear strategy to digitize the national press in order to confront the challenges posed by social media. This involves developing electronic content and achieving a qualitative leap in journalistic institutions. A committee was formed, headed by Alaa Tabet, to develop websites and electronic platforms, supported by financial and technical resources. These platforms have successfully achieved millions of views, with a focus on preserving national production and avoiding sensationalism. Additionally, the sector is working on digitizing the press archives, updating electronic portals, and rapidly addressing social media challenges by providing accurate information. This is linked with training and legislative capabilities to combat rumors.
