The Al Anbaa newspaper and print-house under new management

Talaa Saoud Al-Atlassi has been appointed manger to the state-owned "Al Anba" newspaper and print-house by culture and communication minister Mohamed Achaari.

Al Atlassi told MAP the minister who suspended the newspaper to stop financial hemorrhage wants a better product with a new vision and at lesser cost.

The new manager said a new non-partisan weekly will soon take over and will be open to all layers of society without being the government mouthpiece even if it remains close to decision-making centers.

45 year-old Al Atlassi was successively editor-in-chief to the dailies "Anoual" and "Assiyassa Al Jadida" before joining the communication department as adviser to minister Larbi Messari.
