اتجاهات الصحفيين والإعلاميين المصريين نحو دور المجلس الأعلى والهيئات الوطنية لتنظيم الصحافة والإعلام في ترشيد الأداء المهني للمؤسسات الصحفية والإعلامية المصرية: دراسة ميدانية

Abstract EN

The current study aims to describe, explain and analyze the attitudes of Egyptian journalists and media professionals towards the role of the Supreme Council and the national press and media regulators in rationalizing their professional performance, through a field study conducted on 120 individual journalists and workers in the various Egyptian media, applying two theoretical approaches.

The study concluded a number of results related to the positive attitudes of the study sample towards the role of the Supreme Council for Media Regulation in rationalizing the professional performance of the media by welcoming its decision related to closing and blocking some websites, accounts and pages on social networking sites, YouTube channels, and an electronic application, for violating media codes and standards.

 It also concluded the negative attitudes of the respondents towards the role of the Supreme Council for Media Regulation in training and qualifying young journalists and being satisfied with verbal statements without real actions.

The results of the current study also clearly show the problematic relationship between journalists and media professionals and the judiciary system, where Arab media professionals suffer from an arsenal of laws and legislation that protects the political, economic and media elite, especially since punitive and non-punitive legislation is filled with many texts that look at press publication, audio and video broadcasts, and freedom of expression in general, as extremely dangerous activities and should be surrounded by strong prohibitions and restrictions
