“We should first highlight the main reasons behind the crisis in order to achieve solutions for it. This will contribute effectively to preventing the unfair dismissal of journalists and will stop the slow death of print journalism,” she added. Regarding his main solutions for the unfair dismissal phenomenon, Abdel-Rehim asserted the necessity of strict interference from the syndicate to support the journalist who has been subjected to or is about to face unfair dismissal. “The syndicate’s stance against any journalistic institution that conducts unfair dismissal against journalists should be firm. The syndicate’s actions should be focused around the possibility of suspending the recognition of any newspaper that has been proven to be responsible for the unfair dismissal of journalists,” he stressed.
