Algiers, Algeria | March 5th, 2025 — Algeria’s Minister of Communication, Mohamed Meziane, paid a heartfelt visit on Tuesday to veteran sports journalist Benyoucef Ouadia, a distinguished figure in Algerian sports media, who recently underwent surgery. Accompanied by senior officials from his ministry, Meziane’s visit underscored the government’s deep appreciation for the contributions of media pioneers who have shaped the nation’s journalistic landscape.
During his extended discussion with Ouadia, Meziane expressed his warmest wishes for a swift and full recovery, recognizing the journalist’s outstanding career and invaluable service to Algerian sports journalism. He took the opportunity to assure Ouadia and his family that the legacy of the nation’s prominent journalists will be given greater recognition, emphasizing that the remarkable work of figures like Ouadia should serve as a guiding example for future generations.
Addressing Ouadia’s two sons—who have followed in their father’s footsteps and are also active in the media sector—Meziane reaffirmed the Ministry of Communication’s dedication to preserving and promoting the legacies of Algeria’s media icons. He underscored the essential role that experienced journalists play in shaping journalistic ethics and professionalism, stating that their impact extends beyond their era, inspiring new generations to uphold the highest standards of integrity and excellence.
In a decisive move to institutionalize this recognition, the minister instructed officials from his department to collaborate with various institutions within the communication sector to organize a major conference dedicated to the illustrious career of Benyoucef Ouadia. This event, he stressed, will serve not only as a tribute to Ouadia’s exceptional contributions but also as an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of Algerian sports journalism and the challenges it faces in the modern era.
Meziane further reiterated his ministry’s unwavering commitment to the professional development of journalists, emphasizing that training and capacity-building remain a top priority. He highlighted the necessity of equipping journalists with the tools and knowledge required to navigate the rapidly evolving media landscape while maintaining ethical reporting standards.
