Over the course of this semester we have discussed the dynamic shifts and role that media has played in the Middle East and North Africa. It is interesting to consider how this shift has occurred from a strong State controlled media to a day an age where anyone with a cellphone and/or the internet can participate in the international discussion on current events. The innovations that have occurred regarding Twitter and other various websites have allowed people like me and our class to follow events as they are unfolding in real time on the other side of world.
Where as in contrast to even 20 years ago it would have been very difficult for a class like ours to follow current events. Let alone participate in the international discussion with people half way across the world.
