Thursday’s headlines highlighted the professionalism of Algeria’s national media outlets in their coverage of the September 7 presidential election campaign. El Moudjahid praised both public and private media for their significant role in ensuring the success of the political event while emphasizing that the national press has maintained high ethical standards despite facing criticism from hostile circles. The newspaper also noted that all three presidential candidates and their representatives acknowledged the press’ contribution to the campaign’s success, demonstrating commitment, nationalism, and professionalism.
The media’s role extended beyond traditional outlets, with E-bourse and La Nation pointing out the heavy use of social media by candidates’ campaign directorates. Social platforms have been instrumental in reaching a broader audience and facilitating interactive communication, while traditional media remains vital in the campaign strategy. Candidates called on citizens to turn out in large numbers to vote, emphasizing the importance of unity and the critical nature of this election for Algeria’s future stability and prosperity.
Various publications, including L’Expression and El Watan, also covered campaign rallies and statements from the candidates, focusing on their commitments to economic reforms and national unity. El Badil noted the growing momentum in the campaign, with increasing public enthusiasm at rallies, while El Khabar and Echaab highlighted the intensity of the final week of the campaign. The candidates are racing against time to secure votes and push their vision for a “new Algeria.”
