Beskrivning

News Media in the Arab World: A Study of 10 Arab and Muslim Countries is based on ongoing research at the Department of Media and Communication, University of Leicester, and has investigated the rapidly changing nature of the news media in Arab countries. They have investigated the role of newspapers and television in news provision and the impact of new media developments, most especially the emergence of the internet as a platform for news distribution and of international satellite television channels such as Al Jazeera. Examining the constantly developing nature of news, the collection contains separately authored chapters produced by the researchers responsible for each original analysis, covering Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Based on original primary and secondary research, this will be the first empirical-based collection to blend perspectives from both the Western and Arab nations.

Recensioner i media

This absorbing volume provides great insight into the Arab mediascape, based on critical and empirical research in ten Arab countries. It explores the profound changes culminating in the rise of transnational pan-Arab media, including Al Jazeera, and the flow of media content from the Arab region to the rest of the world. The volume provides an accessible and diverse survey of the Arab media, and an indispensable reference to anyone interested in the shifting media and political landscape in the Arab region.
