Description

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad endorsed on Aug. 28 a media law that would stop government censorship of local and foreign publications, and end government control over newspapers and other publications, the London-based daily AL HAYAT said August 29. The cabinet discussed the final version of the new media law earlier this month. The draft law identifies media principles, journalists' duties and rights, licensing procedures for launching audio-visual, printed and electronic media, the Saudi-owned pan-Arab newspaper added in a Damascus-datelined report. "The law provides for establishing the national media council that enjoys legal personality and administrative and financial independence, " it said. "The media law comes in line with other measures lately introduced by the Syrian government to achieve sweeping reforms in the country." Assad's move was the latest to help end anti-regime protests, which erupted in mid-March and have resulted in the deaths of more than 2,200 people, according to the United Nations. In August, Assad issued decrees on the formation of political parties as well as general elections. Information Minister Adnan Mahmud said t earlier he media law aims at regulating and developing media work in accordance with the comprehensive reform process in Syria. "He noted that the law will contribute to developing media performance in terms of the institutional structure, human cadres and media policies that focus on public matters, issues of citizens, linking media with society with all its components and presenting media content at a high professional level, "according to AL HAYAT. Mahmud said the law will cancel penalties against journalists and ensure their freedom is secured by the law, in addition to facilitating their access to information and securing their right of protecting their information sources, it added.
