Media Manipulation: freedom of expression at broadcasting In Saudi Arabia due to strict regulations

Media Manipulation: freedom of expression at broadcasting In Saudi Arabia due to strict regulations q63Bp
The subject of manipulation has a mani explanation, but when it comes to media, it has only one meaning which is manipulation with words. Strict regulations and policies make hiding some information easier, whereas people on the news cannot tell the whole full truth, and that's a huge problem. Hiding the truth will affect the elite media's not the government; people will judge them in a bad way. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the most countries that have no freedom of expression along with strong regulations and policies. Citizen in Saudi Arabia who breaks their regulation will get punished crudely. Many Saudi citizens have actually lived abroad to get their freedom at expressing where they can tell the truth of what they see honestly. Sadly, the Saudi government still follows them sometimes until they caught them and bring them back just to punish them for what they said because that means they broke their policies and regulations, which they will never allow. This essay will discuss the regulations where it should be much easier for elite media, especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by firstly discussing how did media started in KSA and how does Saudi Arabia policy goes in general, then explaining the first argument were Saudi Arabia has so difficulties of saying the whole truth because of their regulation that they have set. Before finishing with the brief paragraph; the essay will be discussing the second part of the argument which will talk about the freedom of expression in general next, how much Saudi Arabia broadcasting does’t have that freedom of expression. It will argue the deletion of such regulations that will never be completely realisable, but releasing them a bit is something that we can take into consideration. along with, arguing about how freedom of expression because of those regulations that Saudi Arabia policy has made and should be allowed In Saudi Arabia and how the truth should be said. To begin with, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has many channels. According to that, they have launched their first private local channel, which is ALJ- TV, in 1955 (Hammond, A. 2021).  Since then, other channels have started to launch. e. g. An Arabic Channel that broadcasts in the Arabic language has been launched (ibid).  The only community that was allowed to watch those TV channels was Aramco employees (ibid).  Saudi Arabia Policy is very stringent since day one of Al-Saud's lead. That lead took over a lot of things. Freedom of expression was a huge part of it; Strict Regulations was set since then on everything around them, even when there were no local TV channels for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Apart from Al-Saud and how did they set their strict rules on everything since they took the lead. Media policy in general in Saudi Arabia has six main rules that all media companies whether its local or international companies they all should follow the rules as the government mentioned and written: 1-Increase the religious, social, and cultural beliefs of Saudi Arabia. 2-Assure that the public is served with a collection of high-quality entertainment. 3-Setting up an extensible structure for licensing the audio and visual media transmission. 4-Assure that equal opportunities are required in the markets together with acquiring contests in the areas of the authority's enterprise. 5-Encouraging the Improvement of audio, visual media transmission, and content in the kingdom. 6-Encouraging and achieving the objectives of the kingdom's media policy and national arrangement through audio, visual media transmission, including content (Al-Tamimi 2013). For that being said, they have stricter regulations on their local TV channel more than the rules that they have appointed in general, such as; they should not say the full truth on everything they see especially if it includes the government, they can’t have their freedom of expressing about the wrong things that is happening in their country. The Saudi Government has already arrested a lot of employees who worked as TV presenters In News Channels or In any other TV shows for speaking freely about what they think or see; they even closed some of the TV companies totally for a few months or even years as a punishment especially the companies who work in the news. The eyes of the government are always on the companies that work In and for the News more than any other Entreatment channel. It Is extremely tough to speak the truth because of those stricter regulations that we have mentioned earlier. Part of the Saudi media authority headquarters is located Inside the Kingdom, and part of it is outside, which is still runs by the government, and It is filled with numbers of political behaves, thinking that those regulations will keep the threat of liberal political and social values away (Hammond, A. 2021). Therefore, The audio and visual media is controlled through operating channels from inside the kingdom, together with; problem authorisation to radio and television stations as well (Al-Tamimi 2013).  However, citizens know exactly the truth behind why part of the media Is located Inside the kingdom and controlled by them; and why the other part of It Is located and controlled by the government outside; It is not because of those guidelines only. On the other hand, The reform of Crown Prince Vision 2030 is about fundamental changes in the state's social and economic profile, but not in any of their political structures, so the Wahhabi establishment must legitimise the system in the absence of electoral democracy amid restrictions (Hammond, A. 2021). Speaking about the stricter regulations that is happening In Saudi Arabia on their local media companies that leads them to hide most of the truth and not having any freedom of expression such as, news channels they cannot tell the entire truth on what Is happening around the world and especially the things that is happening inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they have to hide a lot of things due to royal orders otherwise, they will be punished as we previously mentioned. For instance, having the freedom to express everything that Is happening Is so hard In Saudi Arabia; Hiding the truth Is easier (Bonotti, M. and Seglow, J. 2021. Nevertheless, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights In article 19 (3) perceive that any form of expression required by law or It means broadcasting may be restricted (Helm, K. R. , and Nasu, H. 2021).  Freedom of expression has theories; Firstly, It has been preserved as unique liberty, different from any other liberties. Secondly, the truth Is Indispensable to secure diversity and pluralism liberal social values. Consequently, free expression can be defended via a responsible mistrust against the government making the right decision on when to coordinate the speech and when they should stop, It Is safest to have the right to free speech (Bonotti, M. and Seglow, J. 2021).  In 2006, J. S. Mill's said there was a well-known argument that spread the freedom of speech all over the world, and It was required to recognise the truth In human affairs. Free expression and finding the truth for Mill was serving the happiness to a higher kind as a gradual for being committed to debate (ibid).   Some people argue that State action has historically been a necessary component of alleged human rights violations involving freedom of expression. If a state orders the removal of content from a private platform, this constitutes a violation of the right to freedom of speech under human rights law. But when a platform decides to remove content for violating its terms of service, this is private action that is not directly governed by human rights laws (Jorgensen, R. F. , and Zuleta, L. 2021). Despite the fact that human rights violations involves freedom of expression. News companies in Saudi Arabia are always under the control of the government. They think that freedom of expression, Including Informations under a legal regime, will be more guaranteed. To be specific, freedom of expression Is given due consideration as the fundamental foundation of a democratic society and its progress, regardless of whether the information or ideas are offensive, shocking, or disturbing (Helm, K. R. , and Nasu, H. 2021).  In other words, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia should theorise again on what Is the real meaning of "freedom of expression. ” Fake news does not have to be faking things to the fullest, but It also means to say half of the truth and leave the rest for the sake of hiding It. The standard Issue about fake news Is controlling, but it empathises with freedom of expression at a low standard. People's ability to provoke, distribute or receive information about any specific content of information, whether they recognised facts or opinions through a particular communication medium.   The traditional standard applied to political language can be challenged in the context of the spread of information barriers on social media. This is because content creators have no potential for goodwill in order to provide accurate and reliable information in accordance with the principles of responsible journalism. Indeed, freedom of expression is formulated and understood differently. In many areas, governing scrutiny around the world has generally divided freedom of expression into three following conditions: First, the principle of legitimacy Second, necessity, and Third, proportionality (ibid).  Sadly, those conditions do not apply In the Saudi law, although citizen's together with media companies In general wishes If they do so. In brief, this essay addresses the situation of visual Media like the news channel in the KSA. Regardless of what Is happening In Saudi Arabia with the fake news which I don't believe that it's acceptable. To conclude, I believe that freedom Is everyone's right, as well as Saudi Arabia citizen has the right to know the full truth on what Is happening around them especially In KSA. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also has the right to live a life that Is free from domination, oppression, and subordination, Including visual media, especially the news companies. Perhaps the KSA government may need some notions of what free speech or, In other words, freedom of expression means. The citizen's of Saudi Arabia expecting a massive change by reaching 2030, and most of them are expecting those changes way earlier than that. As for my own point of view, I wish as well those changes to happen as soon as possible, among these changes I am looking forward to the changes of the strict regulation that we are facing on the visual media, especially the news companies. It can be a bit easier, along with accepting the freedom of expression. Media Manipulation: Visual Media Regulation Differences In Saudi Arabia
The subject of manipulation has a
mani
explanation,
but
when it
comes
to
media
, it has
only
one meaning which is manipulation with words.
Strict
regulations
and
policies
make
hiding
some
information
easier, whereas
people
on the
news
cannot
tell
the whole full
truth
, and that's a huge problem. Hiding the
truth
will affect the elite media's not the
government
;
people
will judge them in a
bad
way. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the most countries that have no
freedom
of
expression
along with strong
regulations
and
policies
.
Citizen
in Saudi Arabia who breaks their
regulation
will
get
punished

.
Many
Saudi
citizens
have actually
lived
abroad to
get
their
freedom
at expressing where they can
tell
the
truth
of what they
see
honestly
.
Sadly
, the Saudi
government
still
follows them
sometimes
until they caught them and bring them back
just
to punish them for what they said
because
that
means
they broke their
policies
and
regulations
, which they will never
allow
. This essay will discuss the
regulations
where it should be much easier for elite
media
,
especially
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by
firstly
discussing how did
media
started
in KSA and how does Saudi Arabia
policy
goes
in general
, then explaining the
first
argument were Saudi Arabia has
so
difficulties of saying the whole
truth
because
of their
regulation
that they have set.
Before
finishing with the brief paragraph; the essay will be discussing the second
part
of the argument which will talk about the
freedom
of
expression
in general
next
, how much Saudi Arabia broadcasting
does’t
have that
freedom
of
expression
. It will argue the deletion of such
regulations
that will never be completely
realisable
,
but
releasing them a bit is something that we can take into consideration.
along
with, arguing about how
freedom
of
expression
because
of those
regulations
that Saudi Arabia
policy
has made and should be
allowed
In Saudi Arabia and how the
truth
should
be said
.

To
begin
with, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has
many
channels
. According to that, they have launched their
first
private
local
channel
, which is ALJ- TV, in 1955 (Hammond, A. 2021).  Since then,
other
channels
have
started
to launch.
e. g.
An Arabic
Channel
that broadcasts in the Arabic language has
been launched
(ibid).  The
only
community that was
allowed
to
watch
those TV
channels
was Aramco employees (ibid).  Saudi Arabia
Policy
is
very
stringent since day one of
Al-Saud
's
lead
. That
lead
took over
a lot of
things.
Freedom
of
expression
was a huge
part
of it;
Strict
Regulations
was set
since then on
everything
around
them, even when there were no
local
TV
channels
for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Apart from
Al-Saud
and how did they set their
strict
rules
on
everything
since they took the
lead
.
Media
policy
in general
in Saudi Arabia has six main
rules
that all
media
companies
whether its
local
or international
companies
they all should follow the
rules
as the
government
mentioned and written: 1-Increase the religious,
social
, and cultural beliefs of Saudi Arabia. 2-Assure that the public
is served
with a collection of high-quality entertainment. 3-Setting up an extensible structure for licensing the audio and visual
media
transmission. 4-Assure that equal opportunities
are required
in the markets together with acquiring contests in the areas of the authority's enterprise. 5-Encouraging the Improvement of audio, visual
media
transmission, and
content
in the kingdom. 6-Encouraging and achieving the objectives of the kingdom's
media
policy
and national arrangement through audio, visual
media
transmission, including
content
(
Al-Tamimi
2013).

For that
being said
, they have stricter
regulations
on their
local
TV
channel
more than the
rules
that they have appointed
in general
, such as; they should not say the full
truth
on
everything
they
see
especially
if it includes the
government
, they can’t have their
freedom
of expressing about the
wrong
things
that is
happening
in their country. The Saudi
Government
has already arrested
a lot of
employees who worked as TV presenters In
News
Channels
or In any
other
TV
shows
for speaking
freely
about what they
think
or
see
; they even closed
some of the
TV
companies
totally
for a few months or even years as a punishment
especially
the
companies
who work in the
news
. The eyes of the
government
are always on the
companies
that work In and for the
News
more than any
other
Entreatment
channel
. It Is
extremely
tough to speak the
truth
because
of those stricter
regulations
that we have mentioned earlier.

Part of the Saudi
media
authority headquarters
is located
Inside
the Kingdom, and
part
of it is outside, which is
still
runs by the
government
, and It
is filled
with numbers of political behaves, thinking that those
regulations
will
keep
the threat of liberal political and
social
values away (Hammond, A. 2021).
Therefore
, The audio and visual
media
is controlled
through operating
channels
from
inside
the kingdom, together with; problem
authorisation
to radio and television stations
as well
(
Al-Tamimi
2013).  
However
,
citizens
know exactly the
truth
behind why
part
of the
media
Is located
Inside
the kingdom and controlled by them; and why the
other
part
of It
Is located
and controlled by the
government
outside; It is not
because
of those guidelines
only
. On the
other
hand, The reform of Crown Prince Vision 2030 is about fundamental
changes
in the state's
social
and economic profile,
but
not in any of their political structures,
so
the Wahhabi establishment
must
legitimise
the system in the absence of electoral democracy amid restrictions (Hammond, A. 2021).

Speaking about the stricter
regulations
that is
happening
In Saudi Arabia on their
local
media
companies
that leads them to
hide
most of the
truth
and not having any
freedom
of
expression
such as,
news
channels
they cannot
tell
the entire
truth
on what Is
happening
around
the world and
especially
the things
that is
happening
inside
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they
have to
hide
a lot of
things due to royal orders
otherwise
, they will
be punished
as we previously mentioned.
For instance
, having the
freedom
to express
everything
that Is
happening
Is
so
hard
In Saudi Arabia; Hiding the
truth
Is easier 
(
Bonotti
, M. and
Seglow
, J. 2021.
Nevertheless
, The International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights
In article 19 (3) perceive that any form of
expression
required by
law
or It
means
broadcasting may
be restricted
 (Helm, K. R.
,
and
Nasu
, H. 2021).
 Freedom
of
expression
has theories;
Firstly
, It has
been preserved
as unique liberty,
different
from any
other
liberties.
Secondly
, the
truth
Is Indispensable to secure diversity and pluralism liberal
social
values.
Consequently
,
free
expression
can
be defended
via a responsible mistrust against the
government
making the
right
decision on when to coordinate the
speech
and when they should
stop
, It Is safest to have the
right
to
free
speech
(
Bonotti
, M. and
Seglow
, J. 2021).  In 2006, J. S. Mill's said there was a well-known argument that spread the
freedom
of
speech
all over the world, and It
was required
to
recognise
the
truth
In
human
affairs.
Free
expression
and finding the
truth
for Mill was serving the happiness to a higher kind as a gradual for
being committed
to debate (ibid).
 
Some
people
argue that State action has
historically
been a necessary component of alleged
human
rights
violations involving
freedom
of
expression
. If a state orders the removal of
content
from a private platform, this constitutes a violation of the
right
to
freedom
of
speech
under
human
rights
law
.
But
when a platform decides to remove
content
for violating its terms of service, this is private action
that is
not
directly
governed by
human
rights
laws
(Jorgensen, R. F.
,
and
Zuleta
, L. 2021).

Despite the fact that
human
rights
violations involves
freedom
of
expression
.
News
companies
in Saudi Arabia are always under the control of the
government
. They
think
that
freedom
of
expression
, Including
Informations
under a legal regime, will be more guaranteed. To be specific,
freedom
of
expression
Is
given
due consideration as the fundamental foundation of a democratic society and its progress, regardless of whether the
information
or
ideas
are offensive, shocking, or disturbing (Helm, K. R.
,
and
Nasu
, H. 2021).  In
other
words, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia should
theorise
again on what Is the real meaning of
"
freedom of
expression
. ” Fake
news
does not
have to
be faking things to the fullest,
but
It
also
means
to say half of the
truth
and
leave
the rest for the sake of hiding It. The standard Issue about fake
news
Is controlling,
but
it
empathises
with
freedom
of
expression
at a low standard.
People
's ability to provoke, distribute or receive
information
about any specific
content
of
information
, whether they
recognised
facts or opinions through a particular communication medium.
 
The traditional standard applied to political language can
be challenged
in the context of the spread of
information
barriers on
social
media
. This is
because
content
creators have no potential for goodwill in order to provide accurate and reliable
information
in accordance with the principles of responsible journalism.
Indeed
,
freedom
of
expression
is formulated
and understood
differently
. In
many
areas, governing scrutiny
around
the world has
generally
divided
freedom
of

into three following conditions:
First
, the principle of legitimacy Second, necessity, and Third, proportionality (ibid).  
Sadly
, those conditions do not apply In the Saudi
law
, although citizen's together with
media
companies
In general
wishes If they do
so
.

In brief
, this essay addresses the situation of visual
Media
like the
news
channel
in the KSA. Regardless of what Is
happening
In Saudi Arabia with the fake
news
which I don't believe that it's acceptable.

To conclude
, I believe that
freedom
Is everyone's
right
,
as well
as Saudi Arabia
citizen
has the
right
to know the full
truth
on what Is
happening
around
them
especially
In KSA. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
also
has the
right
to
live
a life
that Is
free
from domination, oppression, and subordination, Including visual
media
,
especially
the
news
companies
. Perhaps the KSA
government
may need
some
notions of what
free

or, In
other
words,
freedom
of

means
. The citizen's of Saudi Arabia expecting a massive

changes
way earlier than that. As for my
own
point of view, I wish
as well
those
changes
to happen as
soon
as possible, among these
changes
I am looking forward to the
changes
of the
strict
regulation
that we are facing on the visual
media
,
especially
the
news
companies
. It can be a bit easier, along with accepting the
freedom

expression
.
