On June 3, 2024, the Media Law Forum conducted an insightful visit to the newsrooms of Swarnavahini, Oruvan website, and Monara. This visit was pivotal in raising awareness about critical media and suppression laws. The discussions emphasized the implications and enforcement of several key pieces of legislation, such as the Online Safety Act, the Prevention of Terrorism Act, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Act.
During the visit, participants engaged in comprehensive dialogues about the current legal landscape affecting media operations. This initiative by the Media Law Forum underscores the importance of legal literacy among media professionals. By fostering a deeper understanding of these laws, the Forum aims to empower media entities to navigate legal challenges effectively, uphold journalistic integrity, and contribute to a more informed and legally compliant media environment.
