Marquis Raises Concerns Over Media Law and Telelbanon
Lebanese Minister of Information, Paul Mharques, clarified that the new media law aims to update Lebanon’s media legislation by abolishing prison sentences and precautionary measures against journalists, replacing them with fines. The reform also includes establishing specialized courts for media-related cases, strengthening the independence of media institutions, and regulating online websites through clear legal frameworks, which encompass disclosing identities, owners, and the right of reply. The project focuses on enhancing transparency and accountability, adopts the principle of "knowing and reporting" instead of prior licensing, and calls for the creation of an independent national authority to oversee the media sector.
