The democratic wedding witnessed by the Bahraini Journalists Association in the election of its new board of directors was not just an internal organizational entitlement, but rather a station that reveals the vitality of the media body and the strength of its presence in the national scene, it is a scene that reflects the spirit established by the comprehensive development project of His Majesty the King, that project that strengthened freedom of opinion and raising the ceilings of media work, so that the media becomes an essential pillar of development and a spacious space for the responsible expression.
However, the secret of this attendance is inseparable from the continuous care of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Prime Minister, who is seen as a partner in the national project, not just a carrier of the news, with his direct support, the media has become part of the process of making collective awareness and formulating national discourse, and participating in the development challenges, and it is sufficient to point out that the draft law of the press and the media approved by the House of Representatives, The Shura Council is expected to be approved, which is one of the most prominent government support projects that translate His Highness in providing a modern legislative environment, which preserves the rights of journalists, and guarantees broader freedom to work, within a framework of responsibility and transparency.
But the truth that should not be absent from our minds is that official support, no matter how much its size, still needs to be met by a professional effort appropriate to this confidence. And credibility, and between expression and discipline.
The elections of the Association of Journalists came to grant new legitimacy to lead the media body, but at the same time they have put it on it a greater responsibility: to be at the level of official and popular confidence, and to turn support and care from leadership into tangible achievements in performance, content and discourse. The media is not a luxury, but a tool of awareness, a security pillar, and a vital nerve in the path of the homeland. Hope remains contracting that the new council translates this confidence into practical steps, proving that the Bahraini media is the size of responsibility, and that it is able to be an active arm in the march of reform and development, as a partner for His Majesty the Great King and His Highness the Crown Prince, Prime Minister in the present and future building.
The whisper of the media is honesty and a message .. The word that is written today may make consciousness of a homeland tomorrow, so let the pen be as much confidence, and let the awareness of the size of responsibility.
