Mauritanian legislators on Thursday (December 23rd) passed a bill legalizing the electronic press and amending certain provisions related to press freedom, PANA reported on Thursday (December 23rd). According to a statement released by the Council of Ministers, electronic media outlets have multiplied over the last five years. Forced to operate until now without any legal framework, however, they were unable to benefit from any government support.
The Union of Mauritanian Journalists (SJM) hailed the move, describing it as a response to journalists' demands and a reflection of positive change of the media landscape of the country, Journal Tahalil reported.
