#Title Ensure journalists’ economic freedom and job security to uphold honest, independent journalism. Policies should be implemented to guarantee fair wages, timely payments, and protections against financial vulnerability. There is a strong call for a nationally standardised minimum wage across all media sectors. Stakeholders have suggested forming a permanent media commission to assume the responsibilities of the current Press Council, with a broader focus on press freedom. Questions remain about whether the market can sustain the sheer number of media outlets—46 TV channels, 22 radio stations, hundreds of newspapers, and thousands of online platforms. A unified regulatory body must be established to oversee all journalists across print, television, radio, and online media. This body must be independent of government control and funding to ensure true media accountability and freedom.
