Egypt's revolutionary uprising in 2010-2011 raised important
questions about the kind of journalism that would be viable as a
result of the country's changing political dynamics. Suddenly the
output of bloggers, online radio and social media news operations,
which had all formed part of the groundswell of action against
dictatorship and repression, posed an explicit challenge to
journalists in state-run and commercial media companies who were
more directly subject to government controls. In this book, Naomi
Sakr considers the new visions of journalism which emerged as the
struggle for power and influence intensified among Egypt's
different interest groups. She also charts recent transformations
in Egyptian journalism, analyzing diverse approaches to converged
media and the place of participatory cross-media networks in
expanding and developing the country's body of professional
journalists. Finally, this book analyses journalists' initiatives
for restructuring publicly-owned media and securing a safe and open
environment in which to work.
