Minister of Information, Melhem Riachi, said on Tuesday that “the efforts exerted to protect freedom and ethics of the media aims at maintaining this profession and its respect for listeners, viewers and readers.”
Riachi made these remarks at the end of his meeting with the metropolitan of Beirut for Orthodox Greeks, Elias Audi, at the archbishopric in Ashrafieh.
The minister denied the meeting being focused on the electoral law, adding that “discussions have dwelled on the factors that realize fair representation and the logic of justice that must predominate over any other consideration.”
