- Arab National Media and Political Change is the main output of a sustained empirical research conducted between 2012- 2015 and covering three Arab countries going into thorny transitions to democracy. Funded by two external awards from the Open Society Foundations and the LSE Middle East Centre, the analysis is based on an extensive body of data from primary sources---Arab journalists reporting on these transitions—collected in difficult and sometimes dangerous contexts- the fieldwork in Libya. The book critically challenges abstract Western models of professional journalism and gives weight to the understudied journalistic agency beyond the traditional focus on structures.
