Tunisian Media : A Re-run of Ben Ali Policies
►http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/tunisian-media-re-run-ben-ali-policies
The honeymoon between the Tunisian government and state media was short lived. In a surprising move that contradicts its declared commitment to the “freedom of the press,” the cabinet headed by al-Nahda’s secretary-general Hamadi Jebali appointed new managers and directors for all the state-owned media organizations on Saturday.
The Tunisian press syndicate expressed its displeasure with the “one-sided, even condescending way in which these appointments were made.” Meanwhile, some independent media pointed out that most of those appointed are part of the deposed regime and had been pushed aside after the revolution.
