Chad: HAMA Suspends Applications for Online Newspaper Establishment
In Chad, HAMA halts the review of online newspaper applications to enhance control over a rapidly expanding sector.
The High Authority for Media and Audiovisual (HAMA) has announced the suspension of the review of applications for the establishment of online newspapers in Chad. This decision was made until further notice, according to a statement from the regulator.
HAMA justifies this measure by the need to better regulate new media and combat misinformation in a rapidly expanding sector, which currently raises many issues.
This suspension aims to ensure the cleansing of the Chadian media landscape at a time when new online platforms are regularly emerging.
