That's not quite correct. Journalists get paychecks, and whoever pays the checks usually controls the content and style of the articles published. Take a look at l'OdJ's main financial contributor, do the same for Annahar and u would know why these 2 newspapers have changed their political views from 2005 till now.

Now how to remedy, one of the solutions should be to hire a PR firm to take care of showing the real image of FPM.

That's needed badly, but not to remedy the "journalists" problem bc it's unsolvable. It's needed to enhance FPM's image in the eyes of the regular citizen. Do not focus on a losing case like pacifying the journalists.

Organizing press conferences, getting journalists (skeptical ones are prefferred) into a small gathering letting them ask all kinds of questions and answer with whole honesty.

but the issue is that skepticism doesn't play a role here. There is an entire scheme to destroy FPM in the media, and these journalists are hired for a specific job. Ur proposal might work in a western country where the media is less controlled by the politicians and where journalists possess integrity, but in Lebanon it surely is not the case.

U're giving them too much credit. When someone invents scenarios, fabricates lies, promotes them, and keeps repeating them for 2-3 years, then that so called journalist is a lost cause.

A PR campaign should be organized to get them close to us and not get them away from us by asking them to be judged!!

better direct ur efforts where it counts and where ur work can have some effect. Usually, one does a
PR campaign to attract the masses, doing one for journalists is both odd and useless as journalists are already informed about the its and bits of everything. And their articles are written with full conscience and knowledge about the situation in Lebanon.
