"You know it's easy here to buy journalists"

- Emile Lahoud

About this Quote

This quote by Emile Lahoud is a commentary on the state of journalism in Lebanon. It suggests that it is easy to acquire journalists in the nation, suggesting that they can be bought off or paid off to write stories that agree with to certain people or organizations. This recommends that the media in Lebanon is not independent and is instead influenced by those with money and power. This could cause an absence of trust in the media, as individuals may not be sure if the stories they read are accurate or if they have actually been influenced by those with money and power. It could also lead to an absence of openness in the media, as stories may be composed to prefer certain individuals or organizations, instead of to properly report the reality. This might have an unfavorable impact on the general public's trust in the media, in addition to on the total quality of journalism in Lebanon.
