Hiriga: Media funding should be tied to coverage and content output
Ahmed Zahir (Hiriga), Managing Editor of Dhauru, argued on X that state media funding should be tied to coverage breadth and content output, guided by independent criteria. His proposal followed a public backlash over a canceled announcement that MVR 28 million would go to 18 private media outlets, with MJA President Ahmed Naaif opposing state subsidies and Orca Media Group CEO Akhmeem Abdul Razzaq conditionally supporting state assistance.
