Critical Analysis of the Role of Media in Democracy in the Middle East

Imtiaz Khan

Abstract

The role of the media, and particularly social media, in the Arab Spring has been broadly debated in the scholarly world. The Arab Middle East, specifically, tends to be constructed in public disclosure as experiencing social, political and financial hardships, to legitimize military activity and development assistance. Moving toward the issue of media and democratization from another edge, we dissect and analyze the ways of journalistic understanding, which thusly direct to the transition process. 21st-century struggles for democracy occur in a media-saturated environment where the media's tenets of the game impact the crafting and working of political establishments. The venture will speculate the media's job, in political polarization in the contemporary Middle East and clarify how mechanisms we know about media influence the majority.
