Afghan government to revoke most media support organization licenses
The Ministry of Information and Culture has announced that it will revoke the licenses of all media support organizations in Afghanistan, except for three designated groups.
In an official statement, the ministry highlighted the large number of media support organizations operating in the country and criticized some for engaging in unprofessional activities that, rather than addressing journalists’ and media outlets’ challenges, have damaged the international credibility of Afghanistan’s media institutions.
The ministry also noted that several organizations have been inactive for an extended period.
According to the statement, only the licenses of three media support organizations will be renewed, while all others will be canceled.
No further details were given nor did the ministry name the three organizations that would be allowed to renew their licenses.
