On Monday, 14th.October.2019, the Press House - Palestine participated in a panel discussion on digital rights in Palestine, organized by MADA Center for Development and Media Freedoms.
The Press House Chairman, Bilal Jadallah, presented a paper on the right of expression of opinion through social media, pointing out the importance of the technological media development and how the electronic press formed a great outlet for the public to express their views in real form at some stages, but it also created an open space that is not entirely without excesses.
Gadallah said that freedom of the press affects the structure of the electronic media industry, which has created a new communication and digital environment. This issue raises questions regarding the ethics of the journalistic work, the rights and privacy of citizens, the reliable sources of information, and how to deal with news and how quickly it is spread and exposed to rumor.
