Media in the UAE is set to be governed by a new draft "Federal Media Law" which will regulate all forms of media activities. It aims at abolishing 'jail terms' and imposing fines instead on the media.
The draft law consists of 45 articles in seven chapters binding audio-visual and print media as well as the related activities.Related Articles:
