Doha, QNA: Chairperson of Qatar Media Corporation (QMC) Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al-Thani has underlined the importance of coordination between Gulf media outlets to work on publishing and broadcasting Palestinian content in various languages to build international public opinion supportive of legitimate Palestinian issues and rights.
He was talking at the 27th meeting of Ministers of Information of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries held in Doha on Thursday.
In his opening speech, HE Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al-Thani said that for over seven months, the tragic events and conditions experienced by the residents of the Gaza Strip have become the top priorities of media outlets and platforms. He added that although Israel directly and deliberately targets media workers to silence those who report the truth, double standards and bias of the global media in the coverage of those events are glaring.
He pointed out that the different challenges facing Gulf societies are imposed by the internal, regional or international environment, pointing that these challenges place on the those responsible for media, the burden of improving the performance and content of various media outlets to reflect the aspirations and interests of Gulf societies, keep pace with the rapid regional and international developments, and contribute to achieving greater integration and unity among the Gulf countries, in a way that translates the vision and directions of Their Majesties and Highnesses, the leaders of the GCC countries.
