A few days ago, the Syrian Ministry of Information announced the approval of the “Code of Professional and Ethical Conduct for the Media Sector in Syria,” considering that this document will serve as a guide for all producers of media content within the country, which has been suffering from a legislative vacuum in the field of journalism since the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad at the end of 2024, and the subsequent effective suspension of the laws that governed the sector. While many local media professionals were optimistic about this initiative, hoping that it would be an introduction to new legislation that would enshrine freedom of the media and its independence from state authorities, there were other Syrian journalists who criticized the government’s supervision of issuing this ethical code.
