91. Author: Roberta Nunnari Title: The Media Revolution from the Times to Al Jazeera: From Anglo-Saxon Supremacy to Arab Exploit Publisher: Gangemi Editore, Italy Year: 2015 Language: Italian
Description: From Gutenberg to Google, from paper to digital, to bloggers and journalists 2.0, to robots that write news. In just over half a century, dramatic technological and professional transformations took place and revolutionized the media system. The effects of this radical technological change do not concern only professionals and the public of readers, but put an end to the hegemonies that have characterized for centuries the balance of power in geographical areas as diverse and distant as the West and the East. This development caused an unprecedented shift in the global media system from the Anglo-Saxon to the new Arab-Mediterranean galaxy. Specializing in history of communication, the author analyzes the ongoing transformations, focusing on Al Jazeera as an example and leader in this shift. 92. Author: Rasha A. Lotfi Title: News Coverage of Arab Affairs in Some Arab Channels: Al Jazeera, Nile News and CNN as Examples Publisher: Science and Faith Publishing and Distribution House, Egypt Year: 2015 Language: Arabic Description: The media industry witnessed a fundamental development in the field of direct television transmission, especially after the advent of satellites broadcasting and the provision of technological means that allowed live news reporting. This development was instrumental in the rapid spread of satellite channels and diversification of their news content. Drawing on the framing theory to determine the extent of balance or bias of media content, this book examines the news coverage of Arab issues, and the extent to which news frames affected the objectivity and integrity of the news reporting. The author chose to apply the framing theory to three news channels belonging to different political and media systems. These three channels are Qatar’s Al Jazeera, Egypt’s Nile News, and the American broadcaster, CNN.
