This /Handbook/ constitutes the first comprehensive reference in English 
about the development of mass and social media in 20 Arab countries. The 
book comes in 38 chapters and 520 pages’ length. Capturing the 
historical as well as current developments in the media scene, this 
collection maps the role of media in social and political movements.

Contributors include specialists in the field from North America, 
Europe, and the Middle East. Each chapter provides an overview of the 
history, regulatory frameworks and laws governing the press, and 
socio-political functions of the media in each Arab country. While the 
geopolitical complexities of the region have been reflected in the 
expert analyses collectively, the focus is always the local context of 
each member state. All 38 chapters consider the specific historical, 
political and media trajectories in each country, to provide a 
contextual background and foundation for further study about single 
states or comparative analysis in two or more Arab states.

Capturing significant technological developments and the widespread use 
of social media, this all-inclusive volume on Arab media is a key 
resource for students and scholars interested in journalism, media and 
Middle East studies.
