The National Press Authority (NPA) is planning to issue new regulations to “guide” the coverage of terrorism stories by local news outlets, NPA head Karam Gabr told the press on Sunday, according to Daily News Egypt. The move is meant to curb the media’s role as the “main intermediate that terrorist groups use to promote their criminal ideology,” according to Gabr. The guidelines will contain restrictions on the publication of photos tied to terror incidents and might include provisions on the use of social media. The NPA is also working on a “national media charter,” Gabr said.
