We believe that the importance and seriousness of media lie in its role as a source of conveying information and news from various sources to the public, making it the fastest in human history.

We believe that media is a double-edged sword.
It has the power to direct public attention to specific issues, turning them into central and important matters.
Thus, it can have a positive or negative impact on individuals and societies.

We emphasize the role of media in raising public awareness on social, environmental, health, political, and economic issues that affect their lives and realities.

We believe that the most critical task of media lies in its oversight of authorities, governments, institutions, and all sectors of the state.

It serves as the key to holding them accountable in cases of corruption or misconduct.

We consider traditional media in all its forms, especially print media, to still hold significant importance.

The revolution of modern media has not stripped it of its value.

Traditional media maintains a balance and adheres to narrative standards, which often binds it more than modern media, making it more credible and longer-lasting in impact.

We believe that audio media, which delivers information and news through radio programs, interviews, podcasts, and similar formats, still influences a wide audience who respect and follow it.

Therefore, it must be developed and activated properly and more broadly.

We see that visual media now offers a more effective experience to the public.
It requires guidelines to operate within.

We propose activating a national media code of ethics as an initiative to uplift Syrian media in alignment with our society, traditions, and history.

We give great importance to modern media platforms that use digital technology.

They have the ability to distribute information rapidly and enable the public to share and amplify specific issues, often going beyond the surveillance of governments and authorities.

We do not consider today’s media chaos a result of the openness and ease of social media platforms.

Rather, it reflects the extent of unregulated freedoms now enjoyed by peoples and younger generations, away from regime control and decades-long repression.

We believe that regulating media chaos depends primarily on public awareness.
The state also bears a moral responsibility to manage and guide the media sector and its various outlets.

They must overcome the negative outcomes of this chaos and create a national media alternative to counter the current excesses of the modern media revolution.

We see the need for a confederation between traditional and modern media to create a new form that positively enhances media influence in a worn and fragmented country.

We believe in the importance of state support for all forms of media, provided that such support is not conditional, manipulated, or directive.

We support rationalizing media while rejecting any restriction on it under any pretext.

We believe in the public’s right to access information and their right to assess it freely without guardianship or authoritative interpretation.

We consider privacy a fundamental right that media must respect.
There must be a balance between the public's right to information and the individual's right to privacy.

We believe individuals have the right to legal protection and to seek compensation in cases of privacy violations and defamation.

We stress the need to study and understand laws that restrict certain media violations such as libel, insult, and incitement.

These laws should not be used as a pretext to restrict media freedom or to manipulate it by authorities.

We call for the establishment of a general union that brings together all media professionals in Syria.

This union must enjoy full independence from any authority and serve as a self-regulatory body for media and a protector of journalists' rights.

We adopt a comprehensive approach to supporting both public and private media.

This enhances balance, ensures plurality of views and perspectives in the media sphere, and prevents it from being monopolized by individuals or institutions.

We strive and aim to one day own media platforms and stations in Syria, such as Syrian Future Television and Syrian Future Radio.

Their broadcasting and outreach should originate from within Syria and reach all Syrian territories, addressing all Syrians in their diversity.

We also envision a printed and electronic Syrian Future Newspaper concerned with people's issues and societal affairs.

We believe that media must adhere to ethical and legal standards and respect individuals and communities.

We see that media freedom is an inseparable part of the fundamental right to freedom of expression, as recognized by Resolution 59 of the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 1946, and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).
