Much has been made of the role of various media in the shaping of conflicts and political agendas in today's Arab world. This volume examines this topic with interdisciplinary contributions that range across media studies, anthroplogy, religious studies, and political science and explore both new and older media forms.
“It undertakes the task of mapping some of the significant changes, challenges, and tensions which have been constantly at play in the ever-evolving field of Arab media over the last decade, both shaping and reflecting its dynamics. ... a recommended reading for anyone who is interested in better understanding the sociopolitical dynamics of change in the volatile Arab media landscape, and the multiple forces which are both molding and mirroring its current transformations and charting its uncertain future directions.” (Sahar Khamis, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Vol. 94 (3), September, 2017)
