Developments in Arab media

Developments in Arab media have been highlighted this week, not least through media coverage on and from this Swedish-hosted journalists and blogger conference in Alexandria, Egypt.

Here you can listen (radio sound file, about 30 minutes) to a discussion between participants in the conference.

No discussion on Arab journalism is complete without a debate on the role and importance Al-Jazeera! ;-) Now the issue is whether their reporting is politically sensitive to changed Arab Gulf attitudes toward Iran and Saudi-arabia?

A new British magazine on Arab issues is being launched - The Arab. I believe it's not for free on the internet but still want to share the link with you.
