24 Nov 2021

The attention of the Government has been drawn to prepare a media policy which pays special attention to the laws, international laws, operation of national and international media institutions as well as social and cultural identities. Such a move is expected to create the necessary background to present media personalities with professional skills, education on the use and behaviour of media including social media, and the understanding of communication strategies along with the supply of required facilities for digital technology considering the global trends and developments in the mass media and communication fields.  For this purpose, the requirement to amend existing laws, policies and ethics in regard to media personnel and mass media institutions have been recognized.  Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers granted approval for the resolution forwarded by the Minister of Mass Media to appoint a committee with representations of individuals having experience in the fields such as media, marketing, education, law, administration and economy in order to table recommendations to the Cabinet of Ministers for performing the aforesaid activities.
