Responding to urgent calls to de-westernise Media and Journalism
Studies and shed light on local agencies, this book examines
digital journalistic practices in the Arab region, exploring how
Arab journalists understand their roles and how digital
technologies in Arab newsrooms are used to influence public
opinion. Drawing on dozens of articles penned by Arab media
professionals and scholars, supplemented with informal
conversations with journalists, this book reviews the historical
development of digital journalism in the region and individual
journalists' perceptions of this development. While technology has
provided a new platform for citizens and powerful agents to
exchange views, this text examines how it has simultaneously
allowed Arab states and authorities to conduct surveillance on
journalists, curtail the rise of citizen journalism, and maintain
offline hierarchal forms of political, economic, and cultural
powers. Mellor also explores how digital technology serves to
cement Western hegemony of the information world order, with Arab
media organisations and audiences judged to be mere recipients,
rather than producers, of such information. Arab Digital Journalism
offers an important contribution to the emerging field of digital
journalism in the Global South and is a valuable resource for
students and researchers interested in media, journalism,
communication, and development studies.
This handbook provides the first comprehensive reference book in
English about the development of mass and social media in all Arab
countries. Capturing the historical as well as current developments
in the media scene, this collection maps the role of media in
social and political movements. Contributors include specialists in
the field from North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Each
chapter provides an overview of the history, regulatory frameworks
and laws governing the press, and socio-political functions of the
media. While the geopolitical complexities of the region have been
reflected in the expert analyses collectively, the focus is always
the local context of each member state. All 38 chapters consider
the specific historical, political, and media trajectories in each
country, to provide a contextual background and foundation for
further study about single states or comparative analysis in two or
more Arab states. Capturing significant technological developments
and the widespread use of social media, this all-inclusive volume
on Arab media is a key resource for students and scholars
interested in journalism, media, and Middle East studies.

Since September 11, Arab and American journalists have been trading
barbs, accusing each other of bias and a lack of objectivity. But
is news coverage in Arab countries all that different from American
coverage? The Making of Arab News draws comparisons, including
examples of Arabic news language and their English translations, to
show how Arab news values have been Americanized and how these
values are reflected in the language used in the Arab news. Noha
Mellor further discusses claims that the current development in the
Arab news media could be the first step toward democratization.
The development of new and social networking sites, as well as the
growth of transnational Arab television, has triggered a debate
about the rise in transnational political and religious
identification, as individuals and groups negotiate this new triad
of media, religion and culture. This book examines the implications
of new media on the rise of political Islam and on Islamic
religious identity in the Arab Middle East and North Africa, as
well as among Muslim Arab Diasporas. Undoubtedly, the process of
globalization, especially in the field of media and ICTs,
challenges the cultural and religious systems, particularly in
terms of identity formation. Across the world, Arab Muslims have
embraced new media not only as a source of information but also as
a source of guidance and fatwas, thereby transforming Muslim
practices and rituals. This volume brings together chapters from a
range of specialists working in the field, presenting a variety of
case studies on new media, identity formation and political Islam
in Muslim communities both within and beyond the MENA region.
Offering new insight into the influence of media exposure on
national, political, and cultural boundaries of the Islamic
identity, this book is a valuable resource for students and
scholars of Middle Eastern politics, specifically political Islam
and political communication.
Modern Arab Journalism offers a new outlook in studying Arab news
media. It approaches its subject from an innovative angle, asking a
series of key questions: * How is Arab journalism different from or
similar to journalism in other countries? * What defines the tasks
of journalists? * Who has access to this field? * How is power
distributed inside the field of Arab journalism? * When were the
media programs launched at Arab universities and what characterizes
them? Although the field of Arab journalism has received tremendous
attention from the public as well as journalistic circles around
the world in recent times, this book presents the first detailed
exploration of the area, opening up a new research agenda and
challenging the concepts taken for granted in Arab media
scholarship. Key Features: * Includes discussion of neglected
issues such as globalisation and Arab media * Reviews Arab
scholars' work in the area * Presents a challenging discussion
about the role of Arab media in the public sphere * Offers a
detailed case study of the reporting of the Iraq War in 2003
In the wake of the 25 January revolution and the coup that followed
in 2013, Egyptian bookstores recorded a significant increase in
demand for books by and about the Muslim Brotherhood. However,
despite the burgeoning literature on the Brotherhood, knowledge
about the movement is still rather limited, particularly with
regard to its most strategic tool - media and communications. This
book offers a fresh and close look into the communication strategy
of the group, focusing on published periodicals, biographies, and
websites that represent the voice of the Brotherhood. The book
analyses the core mission of the Brotherhood, namely its da wa
(call, invitation to faith) - how it is articulated and how it is
defined by the movement as an ideology and a process. Have the
media represented a coherent voice of the Brotherhood over the past
decades? What can they communicate regarding the Brothers'
perception of the needs of their audiences? How have the media
served to sustain, preserve, and distinguish the movement for nine
decades? The book argues that the Brotherhood media speak with an
intermittent voice and deliver an incoherent message whose tone is
changeable and fluctuating and cannot be claimed to truly represent
the heterogeneity of the group. Adopting an interdisciplinary
approach that integrates Media Studies and Social Movement Theory,
the book provides a fresh analysis of the Brotherhood movement as
an interpretive community and will be a valuable resource for
anyone studying Egypt or the Muslim Brotherhood.

The story of Egyptian identity from the beginning of the 20th
century is one constructed by statesmen, intellectuals and Islamic
thinkers. This book argues that the current fragmentation of
Egypt's political scene reflects the increasing social division in
a country where 'the people' are demanding a redefinition of their
national identity. Scrutinising the society behind the uprisings
that began in 2011 and their diverse economic, ideological and
sectorial demands, it also looks at the desperate state's attempt
to construct a unified Egyptian identity an attempt which has
resulted in further splitting Egyptian society.
