Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is a new fundamental right introduced to Maldives via the Constitution enacted in 2008. Since the implementation of this new Constitution, media sector in the country has transformed immensely. The media sector controlled by the state has been opened to active participation of private parties, and overnight the number of participants in the sector increased creating the demand for a trained talent pool.
