INVITATION
The University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, the Cologne University of Applied Sciences, and DW-AKADEMIE cordially invite you to take part in the Third Deutsche Welle Media Dialogue.
CHAIRED BY

KEY TOPIC
Since the "Arab Spring" uprisings beginning December 2010, social media and its influence on the transformation process in the Arab world has often been praised as being the core medium in these revolutions. In some countries, in fact, it appears to have played an important role.
But has social media been more effective than traditional media? Which other factors spurred these revolutions? Why have some uprisings been successful and others suppressed? And what role does media development play?
The conference aims to analyze the diverse structural, economic, legal and political dimensions of the media market in the Arab world and their influence on political developments.
PROGRAM
Two panels will explore the following topics:
Panel 1 Regulation versus liberty: Media landscape transformation
The focus will be on the state and development of the media market in the Arab world, the legal and economic situation, and future perspectives for the media there.
Panel 2 Social media revolution and freedom of expression
The focus will be on the impact of social media on political mobilization, and on social media’s possibilities and obstacles regarding the recent social processes in the Arab world.
CONFERENCE LANGUAGE
The conference will be held in English. We invite international media academics and political scientists, economists, academic lawyers and journalists to participate.
