Journalists' Syndicate Denounces Media Law Draft
The Lebanese Press Editors' Union discussed its rejection of the proposed media law bill that was amended by the parliamentary committees, expressing concern over the lack of a clear national vision in the text, as well as the absence of protections for those working in the sector. They also highlighted the danger posed by provisions that could allow journalists and media professionals to be imprisoned, which threatens media freedom and is intended to restrict the profession. The union called for the withdrawal of the bill and its reintroduction to the Committee on Media and Communications for reconsideration. It also reaffirmed its readiness to present a bill that reflects a genuine national media vision and ensures the protection of media workers.
