The Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU) gave instructions on Thursday to dissolve the Libyan Media Corporation that was headed by Mohammed Bayo, transferring in the same ordinance the affiliation of ten media agencies and apparatuses from the dissolved institution to the GNU and other Ministries as well as Awqaf and Fatwa authorities.

The government’s decision included dissolving the media studies and research center, Libya TV, Libya Al-Akhbariya TV, New Media Development Center, Al-Shorooq Radio and Libya Radio, instructing a committee to transfer all assets of the dissolved Libyan Media Corporation to the GNU and another committee to reintegrate employees as per their specialties in other public institutions.
