The publication of new decrees in Mali by the High Authority for Communication regarding media royalty rates has sparked reactions from professional media organizations. The decrees impose payments ranging from 1 to 20 million CFA francs, depending on the media’s commercial status.
Media associations, including the Association of Online Press Professionals, have voiced concerns, calling for the suspension of the measures. They argue that the immediate implementation of these rates is unfair and burdensome to the industry.
