The adviser welcomed constructive criticism, saying, “The current interim government believes in press freedom and expects an effective role from the media in spreading right information among the people.”

Regarding the initiative on media reforms, he said, “The government has already formed a commission to reform the media, and it will be done as per the commission’s report.”

On the occasion, the editors endorsed that there is no interference in the media from the government now, and it is a blessing for independent journalism. The media has an active role in establishing good governance in the country. The fascism would not have emerged had the media played its right role.

It was demanded in the meeting that a separate policy be formulated for the English newspapers.
