Digital Media’s Role in the Egyptian Revolution
How has digital media facilitated in mobilizing and carrying out the social revolution?
Egyptian protestors used digital media as a facilitating tool, which served as the catalytic force that brought down the Mubarak regime. Did Twitter start this revolution – or did Facebook? How has digital (social) media in the public sphere been used, interpreted, and moderated during the Arab Spring Revolutions, particularly in Egypt? These questions will be explored in this research paper. For the sake of brevity, attention will focus primarily on big and small media’s contribution to Egypt’s revolution while exploring the influence the Tunisian Revolution had on it.hg |
