[Commlist] Dossier on Media and Corona in Arab countries

*****Research and Film Dossier on Media and Corona in Arab countries*****

The dossier has been produced by scholars of the Arab-European 
Association for Media and Communication Researchers: http://www.areacore.org
The outbreak of COVID-19 has not only led to a major public health 
crisis globally, restricted our mobility and affected our economic and 
political infrastructure, it also has impacted the media sector. We are 
only beginning to grapple with the immediate and long-term effects on 
media systems, journalism practices and freedom of expression. While 
dominant Western scholarship observes the current trends in Europe and 
North America, little is systematically gathered of what happens in 
countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). There are alarming 
trends in some countries, though, such as restrictions on articulating 
opinions, financial problems of many media houses, but also a rising 
need for and appreciation of unbiased information.

In order to monitor these dynamics, we set up a "Dossier on Media and 
Corona" that you can find here: 
http://www.areacore.org/dossier-media-corona/
It contains links to country-specific publications mainly in the MENA 
region in English and Arabic (including English abstracts).
To give authentic insights, AREACORE partners  have also produced short 
videos: ---Morocco:
