The legal status of old private media,
especially those belonging to the former president family, is still
unclear. Some of them are under jurisdictional managers, but INRIC
excluded them for the moment from any ethical obligations. Hannibal TV,
owned by a relative to Leila Trabelsi, was involved in many ethical
infringements to the Ethical Code like slandering or fake news, before
and particularly after the revolution. Larbi Nasra, the Hanibal TV
owner, seems to play a political role by receiving political leaders and
airing many reports about his own charitable actions. Fethi Houidi,
Information Minister under Ben Ali, is still Nessma TV’s CEO. Moez
Sinaoui, former Nessma PR man, was nominated as the Interim Prime
Minister’s spokesman
