The administration is moving towards imposing sanctions on those who violate the provisions of the laws regulating press freedom despite the tendency of the Iraqi constitution of 2005 towards giving those who practice this profession more freedom on condition not violating the provisions of the law or attacking the public authorities of the state.

The importance of research lies in determining the procedures that regulate the work of newspapers and magazines and the extent of the administration's control over the exercise of press freedom.
