NNA – Information Minister, Melhem Riachi, deemed media as “the mirror of society” which should be based on content rather than solely form, pointing out that media in Lebanon nowadays endures a huge conflict due to the deficiency of funding.
“Media in Lebanon undergoes a huge crisis of values,” Minister Riachi said during the first episode of “Seyasat” TV Program run on “Tele Lumiere” and “Noursat”.
Riachi announced an “integrated solution plan” for the dilemma of the Lebanese media, based on the reinforcement of the Syndicate and the establishment of a Support fund for social security and retirement.
The Minister also disclosed a solution for the Ministry of Information through turning it into a Ministry of Dialogue and Communication, to render Beirut a credited center for dialogue on public crises.
