Heba Press – Muhammad Zaruh
The city of Nador recently attended an illegal phenomenon that has started to raise questions among many local actors, who is the appearance of people who pretend to be journalists and record direct and press dialogues with public and local officials. These people walk as accredited journalists, although they do not have the official press card or any legal status which allows them to practice the profession legally.
According to local sources, these people who pretend to be journalists present themselves to the responsible authorities and the institutions that deal with them, because they benefit from professional and official possibilities on the basis of this assertion. This opens the door to questions about how these parties deal with uncomfortable individuals and the lack of control over those who walk as representatives of local media. In addition, this phenomenon also began to include “influencers” who do not have official press status, but claim to provide media content to increase their credibility before businesses and commercial projects.
The most disturbing thing is that these people benefit from large sums of money in exchange for the supply of ads to stores and new companies in the city. Although they do not have legal adjective as accredited journalists or accredited influencers, they make false offers with advertising, and they receive great money from project owners without paying taxes or compliance with laws related to commercial advertisements.
This phenomenon reveals the lack of real control of the media sector in the city, allowing these people to take advantage of the illegal advantage of the media market in Nador. While journalists should be accredited according to professional standards, some find the way open to exploit the legal vacuum of this sector, including “influencers” who illegally promote the content of the media and benefit from these shortcomings.
These actions put the reputation of local media in Nador in a critical position, because they negatively affect the credibility of the press in the region. When illegal or fictitious media services are provided, the public suspicion towards the public will be provided on the credibility of the news and the information that achieves them from unreliable sources. The role of “influencers” in this context increases the dispersion of media sources and affects the ability to distinguish between the content of the real media and commercial propaganda.
With the climbing of this phenomenon, the most important question remains the role of the authorities concerned in the fight against these practices. Public proceedings, local authorities and the Ministry of Communication should take strict measures to prevent the spread of these illegal phenomena in the press and media sector. By strengthening control and organizing journalistic work, the authorities concerned can ensure that Nador’s local media remain within the framework of the professional laws and principles which guarantee the rights of all and preserve the credibility of the media, and also include the organization and documentation of the work of “influencers” who practice the media illegally.
