As i highlighted in a previous thread, the main obstacle that journalists face here is that Here, anybody can simply file a complaint with the police against a reporter and his newspaper. The new Media law tackles this and secures that journalists would face no detention
In addition, the law shall allow the establishment of independent private media outlets through License.
Apart from that, there is not much in the law or it seems blurry. We can only know after the release of the 45- article Law.
I did predict in my previous thread that the law must be in the verge of being released soon
