Al Thawra Al Souriya Newspaper Returns in Syria After 5-Year Ban Under Assad, Marking Media Shift

  • Syria publishes first print issue of Al Thawra Al Souriya.
  • Al Thawra Al Souriya replaces Assad-era state newspaper Al Thawra.
  • Former President Assad banned printing dailies during the pandemic.
  • New authorities relaunched state media and allowed private publications.
  • First state-sponsored TV news channel aired since Assad's fall.

Why it matters: The return of a state newspaper signals changes in press freedom and public discourse in Syria.
