“Regulating the media requires genuine industry consultation & engagement. Bypassing such engagement with journalists & unions show a fundamental misunderstanding of the ultimate purpose of such a body; that is to strengthen journalism and safeguard democracy and press freedom.”

MJA condemns the Broadcasting Commission's suspension of Channel13. This punitive action, timed to block a live political broadcast, is a direct threat to press freedom and an act of intimidation. We also call for transparency and the withdrawal of the new Media Control Bill.
