Algeria marks National Press Day, commemorating the 1955 debut of 'Résistance algérienne', by highlighting the media's essential role in the nation's growth. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune praised the loyalty of Algerian journalists and emphasized the importance of transitioning toward digital and electronic media to ensure public access to reliable information. To professionalize the sector, the government has established a robust legal framework, including regulatory authorities and a high council for media ethics, alongside the revival of a press support fund. Authorities are focused on protecting the socioeconomic rights of journalists and maintaining an open dialogue to improve their working conditions. As the nation prepares for upcoming elections, the Ministry of Communication has underscored the responsibility of the media to provide professional, impartial coverage, acting as a vital defense against cyber-warfare and misinformation.
