Satellite TV and the Arab Spring
|
Despite the fact that social media played a
significant role in sparking the Arab Spring, it was satellite broadcasting
that was able to provide the Arab masses with minute-by-minute coverage of
developments. This medium broadcast to Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, and
Syria and followed stories about the leaders and other officials involved in
regime changes. It was satellite television that gave voice to the
opposition. AlJazeera, AlArabiya, BBC’s Arabic news channel, AlHurra, and
France 24 were the main news networks that played a significant role in
informing the Arab world about Arab Spring events. This paper not only
describes the role these networks played in covering the Arab Spring, but
also analyzes the important role the networks played in preparing the region
for the aftermath by giving a voice to the voiceless, covering opposition
groups, exposing corruption, reporting demonstrations, and discussing issues
of freedom, democracy, and social justice in the Arab states
