During a meeting in Helmand, Mujahid assured that the media outlets, which had been shut down due to financial and economic problems, would be supported for revival.
Zabihullah Mujahid added that the international community has made a number of commitments to revive and fund the media outlets that have collapsed due to economic difficulties.
He also hoped that next year would be a year of development and progress that would see media houses benefiting via paid commercials.
The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Zabihullah Mujahid, while confirming the problems and complaints faced by the local media of Helmand, assured that after the investigation, the existing problems and complaints related to the local media of Helmand will be addressed.
