So that others do not make mistakes

A decision was issued last week to suspend two female presenters from appearing on their channels.

The reason was not a professional error broadcast on air, but rather posts on personal pages.

And the question is:

If the violation occurred on the personal page, why is the channel being punished?

The decision stipulated the suspension of the two presenters from the channels, while merely issuing a "warning" to the pages where the violation occurred. No official statement was issued detailing the violations.

Logically, if the violation occurred on the page, the normal consequence should be punishment directed at the page, But what happened was the reverse: Suspension for the channels... and a warning for the pages.

I am not writing this in defense of anyone, nor am I objecting to the fact that a media personality should be held accountable for what they publish in any space bearing their name and image. This is logical and understandable. But, like many others, I ask: What is the rule?

Well, The Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR) , headed by Minister Khalid Abdel Aziz, has presented a respectable model in regulating the media landscape over the past months.

The Council monitored violations on screens, suspended unprofessional content, and corrected courses. Secretary-General, Counselor Basser El-Moaidi, is making extraordinary efforts in following up and communicating with us.

Today, I ask publicly, What is permissible? And what is impermissible?, Should social media pages be treated as personal platforms? Or as an extension of the channels?, And when does a post on Facebook or Instagram become a reason for suspending a television program?, We need an answer... So that others do not make the same mistake because they do not know what the rule is.

I hope, and I believe everyone expects this, that a statement will be published clarifying the text of the violating code, how it is applied, and the limits of accountability between "what is personal" and "what is professional." Clarity protects everyone, and when rules are declared... compliance becomes obligatory for all.
