Damascus- After more than 3 months have passed since the fall of the Syrian president who was in the past Bashar Al -Assad, the broadcasting of government television still stops, which opened the door to speculation on the reasons to delay the return of the diffusion in the light of the new stage of the country, and the importance of attending official media and covering important events.
The “Declaration No. 1”, announced by the opposition factions on official Syrian television on Sunday morning, on December 2024, declared the escape of Bashar Al -Assad and the liberation of the capital, Damascus, is the last thing that the Syrians have seen on their government channel, which has remained silent since the time.
Media business workers believe that the absence of Syrian television as an official source of government news in the country has opened the door to the spread of false and deceptive news, and so that the Syrians resort to non -local media sources, in search of truth at this sensitive stage of the country’s history.

Challenge
New Syrian media officials attribute delay in the resumption of television and government channels to technical reasons related to broadcasting and equipment and equipment of human executives, and others related to the preparation of programs and in broadcasting.
For his part, the director of the public authority for radio and television in Syria, Alaa Persilo, confirmed in Al -jazeera net that the delay in the launch of Syrian television was not as much as the need imposed by the challenges, indicating two main factors in the launch calendar:
- The first: This is the worn infrastructure, which required radical development processes to ensure the presentation of an image completely different from the traditional form of the previous official media.
- The second: This is the need for the media and technical frameworks that have the effectiveness of monitoring the rhythm of the New Testament in Syria, so that it reflects a sophisticated media image worthy of the aspirations of Syrians and expresses the next stage of the country.
Persilo revealed that the Syrian news channel will be the first official channel to be launched soon, “given the urgent need for a reliable source of new ones, in the light of the disinformation of the disinformation of the media and chaos of information on social networks.”
sanctions
The broadcast of the chain – according to BRARRARSILO – will include newsletters at the head of the watch, with analytical relationships that plunge into the background of events, as well as political and economic programs which approach the problems which are not covered by the newsletters, and that interactive which discusses the concerns of citizens and connects them to government, and programs specialized in the world of social media.
There are major challenges that hinder the launch of Syrian television channels, according to the Director of Public Relations of the Syrian Information Ministry, Ali Al -Rifai, the most important of which are the sanctions imposed on the public authority for radio and television, as this prevents dissemination via satellites such as Nilesat, despite the ongoing attempts to overcome them.
Al -Rifai underlined – in an interview with Al -jazeera Net – to other problems, which are the concern of the equipment, “the equipment is old and is not suitable for modern media, in addition to a primitive operating system and flask human resources that suffer from corruption and patronage.”
He stressed that the establishment of a television channel requires time and efforts “because any station needs at least a whole year before starting its official broadcast, and it is under stable conditions, when it is a media environment destroyed by the previous regime”.
Disturbing news
In the midst of successive Syrian events, social media has become the scene to display various local news, regardless of the credibility or precision of the published news, which allowed the spread of false and false news in an unprecedented way.
There is a link between the interruption of the Syrian visual media and the spread of deceived news and false news, according to the director of the platform “confirmed” the verification in the news, Ahmed Primo, explaining that the Syrian people are thirsty for the source of information concerning their daily life.
Primo said – in a statement to Al -jazeera Net – that everyone participates in the dissemination of information on the Syrian problem, including renown enthusiasts and those looking for profits via social media, who, in the absence of the media, found the opportunity to disseminate news.
He stressed that there are two types of deceptive news:
- The first: Inadvertently published false information and endless.
- The second: He deliberately distributes false news according to the agendas and the campaigns which can rely behind the countries, in order to distort the reality of the situation and continuous instability in Syria.
