Morcos discusses general situation, media affairs in separate meetings

Information Minister Paul Morcos received at his ministry office the Director General of Jordan Radio and Media Director of Jerash Festival, Fadl Maarek, in the presence of Media Adviser to the National Higher Conservatory of Music (the Conservatoire), Majida Dagher.

Speaking on emerging, Maarek said that "the visit to Minister Paul Morcos is a cordial one," adding: "We have ongoing program exchanges and partnership between Radio Lebanon and Radio Jordan, and we hope to strengthen and develop bilateral media relations between the two countries and exchange ideas to further enhance these ties."

Maarek also pointed out that "the Executive Director of the Jerash Festival consistently emphasizes the importance of Lebanese cultural and artistic presence at the Jerash festival’s events.''

Minister Morcos also received a delegation from the Save the Children association, headed by Director General Nora Ingdal, accompanied by Yara Hamadeh and Rana Kharrat.

Discussions focused on Lebanon’s national media guidelines for respecting children’s rights, including guiding principles, professional standards, and the importance of taking these guidelines into consideration when preparing, producing, publishing, broadcasting, or reusing any media content involving or featuring children.

These guidelines are based on the principle that protecting children does not conflict with media freedom; but rather constitutes a fundamental pillar of professional and ethical journalistic practice.

Separately, Minister Morcos received Egypt’s newly appointed Ambassador to Lebanon, Tamim Khallaf. Discussions focused on the general situation and ways to strengthen media cooperation between the two countries.
