Syria updates media law for digital age
The Syrian Ministry of Information, in collaboration with journalists and journalism organizations, is working on drafting a new comprehensive media law that keeps pace with digital developments. This law aims to ensure freedom of opinion and expression, protect journalists, facilitate access to information, and regulate digital media as well as aspects related to security and digital transformation. Initiatives include the abolition or restriction of legal prosecutions against journalists, the establishment of an independent authority to regulate media, ensuring the independence of media institutions, safeguarding journalists' social and professional rights, and implementing clear regulations on hate speech and cybercrimes. This step is part of efforts to modernize Syria's legal framework for media to foster a free and independent media environment that aligns with the demands of the digital age.
