ARAB SPRING MEDIA MONITOR: ONE YEAR OF COVERAGE
MAR 13, 2012
By Rachel Chan
For more than a year, tumultuous changes have swept across the Middle East. Citizens have poured into the streets, governments have fallen and social media is now recognized as a powerful tool for the masses. Since the early days of the so-called “Arab Spring,” the USC Center on Public Diplomacy has been aggregating related public diplomacy news coverage. This CPD Media Monitor Report serves as a review and brief analysis of the hundreds of stories from and about Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain and Syria from December 2010 through January 2011.Outlined below are the contours of each popular uprising as conveyed by the media as well as an overview of various public diplomacy efforts which have accompanied them. These have ranged from efforts in the United States to provide technical support to bypass the Libyan government’s stranglehold of the Internet to engaging with Syrian protesters via Facebook. As changes occur in the region, public diplomacy must continue toward those publics attempting to constructively reshape their governments and countries. Support of these citizens and their shared values must be demonstrated not just through words, but through actions. While this Report wraps up the CPD Arab Spring Media Monitor, it does not conclude CPD’s continued PDiN coverage of the Arab Spring and public diplomacy related stories. Only time will tell how the uprisings, conflicts and new democracies will play out in the region, but nations around the world would do well not to ignore the publics in the Middle East, even as they struggle to define and achieve consensus on their futures.
