News

Under the authoritarian regimes of Habib Bourguiba, and then Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, the media was prone to Tunisian censorship. Today the Tunisian media enjoys much greater freedom than before the 2011 popular revolt, but the country is still behind due to some of the legislation which has been enforced over the years.
