As part of the Egyptian government’s efforts to regulate media content and protect it from phenomena that could promote superstition and witchcraft, the National Media Authority in Egypt has announced its decision to ban the hosting of fortune tellers and astrologers on state-owned television and radio programs.<\/p>\n
The decision aims to enhance the national media message and raise public awareness about what is broadcast in the media.<\/p>\n
According to statements from the National Media Authority, this ban is part of measures to improve the image of Egyptian media and ensure that it reflects national values and principles.<\/p>\n
As reported by “Extra News” channel, the Authority emphasized that this step comes at a sensitive time, with tighter scrutiny being applied to Egyptian satellite TV programs amid efforts to develop local media.<\/p>\n
This decision is part of a broader series of initiatives the Egyptian government has adopted in recent years, aimed at modernizing Egyptian media and ensuring that it does not host individuals who promote unscientific ideas and beliefs. Through these measures, the government seeks to protect the public from the negative influences that such personalities could cause.<\/p>\n
