The political dispute of power after the death of Kuwaiti Emir
Sheikh Jabber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah on 15 of January 2006, followed by
the public demand to change the electoral constituencies voting
system of the National Assembly, and the dissolving of the National
Assembly in May 2006 forced many Kuwaitis to go online to get the
latest news and analysis regarding the two issues. Kuwaiti online
journalism became the source for instant updated information during
the disputes. Three different tools (survey, online content
analysis & interviews) were used to determine the effect of
online journalism on journalist's practices and the freedom of the
press in Kuwait, focusing on the most popular Kuwaiti personal
writers' sites, weblogs & forums. The results show that online
journalism affected journalist's practices but did not replace the
traditional practices. The language of online journalism took a
different direction from the local press with more freedom to
write, discuss, and share ideas online with less fear of government
retribution. What was considered a taboo "red line" in the local
press became an acceptable "green line" online.
