Minister of State for Media Affairs Faisal Shboul, Wednesday, warned that press in resource-poor countries is facing the threat of bankruptcy.

In the session dubbed 'The Media.. The New Role of Building Future Governments' in Dubai, Shboul said: 'When the advertising market is absorbed in favour of a number of companies, the press institutions will be facing an existential threat.'

Shboul urged in the session, which was part of the WGS2022, the public to not confuse professional press and media on the one hand and social media on the other, which operates unhinged and without controls.
