Summary
Muammar Qaddafi kept a firm grip on Libya's media sector and used it as a propaganda tool for his regime. After the dictator's fall in 2011, the media sector was opened up, but reconstruction efforts lacked vision and have fallen prey to the tumultuous situation on the ground. A completely unbiased and free media industry remains an illusion. The rebirth of Libya's media sector requires a comprehensive approach that involves regulatory reform and builds up the skills of journalists
