The General Authority for Media Regulation concluded its participation in the sixth Hajj Conference and Exhibition, held in Jeddah over four days under the theme “From Makkah to the World.”

 Participating as part of the media system’s “Media Bridge” pavilion, the authority showcased its efforts to empower the media sector and introduced its services and initiatives aimed at regulating and facilitating media coverage of the Hajj season.

 During its participation, the authority launched two early registration initiatives. The first targets local media production companies seeking to cover the Hajj season, while the second allows international pilgrims’ affairs offices, Hajj and Umrah companies, and government entities to register requests to contract local production companies.

 The authority also held a meeting to help local media production companies prepare to cover the Hajj season and organized a workshop for international pilgrims’ affairs offices and local media organizations on the regulation of media coverage during the Hajj season.

 It also participated in a panel discussion on the regulatory and operational arrangements for pilgrims’ affairs offices.

 The workshops and panel discussion in which the authority participated were attended by more than 150 representatives of media organizations and international pilgrims’ affairs offices.

 They covered regulatory arrangements for media coverage of the Hajj season, introduced the services and initiatives available to media organizations, and explored opportunities for cooperation with local media production companies.
