On Saturday April 19, the second day of the 30th edition of the International Edition and Book Fair in Rabat, the Ministry of Justice organized an intellectual meeting on new media and their role in raising awareness of law and human rights, with a reading of law 13.31 on the right of access to information, led by Professor Ihsane El Hafidi, research professor at the Faculty of Law of Hassan I and Settat Professor Najiba Jalal, journalist and director of the publication of ExpressTV. The meeting was led by Dr. Wafaa Mellih Cherki, member of the Department of Communication and Partnerships of the Directorate of Cooperation and Communication from the Ministry of Justice. The theme of Reunion has raised essential questions on the role that so-called new media, as opposed to traditional media, can play in the awareness of citizens of human rights and rights, as well as on the various problems that they can sometimes raise in terms of respect for privacy and credibility of information. In his intervention, Mr. Hafezi addressed the question of network society and new media, by reviewing the most important challenges in the face of “fake news”, as well as the impact of the growing interdependence between technology and the means of communication on the recipient, which has gone from a passive recipient to a positive recipient.
However, the network in the network has had a positive impact, but also a negative impact because of its ability to falsify information, hence the need for a legal approach to limit its repercussions. In his intervention, Professor Najiba Jalal approached the profession of journalist by analyzing legal values and human rights between the past and the present. She analyzed the social responsibility of the journalist vis-à-vis questions of public opinion and criticized the violations of the media reality which contribute to deceiving public opinion, by emphasizing the need for an ethical commitment to limit chaos in the field of media, which can sometimes represent a challenge for national security.
