Future TV’s programs have stopped over a strike carried out by the Lebanese channel’s employees to protest the delay in the payment of their wages. The station is now only airing reruns.
The Syndicate of Lebanese journalists will organize, next Tuesday, a sit-in in Beirut to protest against the state of the press and media in Lebanon. The union called on all journalists to join the movement to deal with the negligence of the official authorities in relation to this sector and its legitimate requests.
Lebanon's media landscape is rife with privately-owned stations and newspapers affiliated with at least one of the country's many political parties, who are often the primary source of funding.
That has left little room for an independent press.
A series of prominent dailies have disappeared from print over the past three years due to funding shortages.
