\n
\nPost Arab-Spring: Structural Changes and New Directions in Media and Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadline for Submission: September 15, 2012<\/p>\n

Communication technology and media services are advancing more rapidly than ever before. Throughout the entire world, average citizens have the ability to receive \u2014 and transmit \u2014 more and more unfiltered content to larger and larger audiences. The results can range from public empowerment to unabated chaos. Governments and regulators of every philosophy are struggling to keep up with the changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cArab Spring,\u201d now well into its second year, is but one example of societal change based \u2014 in part \u2014 on technological advancements. In just two short years throughout the \u201cArab World\u201d some governments have cracked down with an iron fist while in other countries regimes have changed. Some revolutions have been violent, other transitions orderly. Other nations, at least on the surface, have felt no effect of the systemic changes to technology and society.<\/p>\n

As a special issue of the American edition of Global Media Journal, the editors encourage submissions that focus on personal, mass, and computer-mediated communication within and to and from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in this new and still changing environment. Broad topic areas include, but are not limited to matters such as:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Changes in how governments communicate with their populace and how the people communicate with government.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Evolution in sociopolitical communication in the region.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Western adaption to the new communication publics in the MENA region.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Media representation of the various groups and factions involved in MENA change.<\/p>\n

\u25cf The roles played by new media in recent changes in the MENA region.<\/p>\n

\u25cf The relationships between traditional and new media in the pre and post Arab Spring events\/<\/p>\n

\u25cf Theoretical frameworks explaining the triangle relationships among governments, media and publics.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Spill-over effects of Arab Spring on other nations and regions.<\/p>\n

Graduate Student Research: In keeping with the mission of the journal to provide opportunities for graduate student publication, this special issue of Global Media Journal will have a graduate research section.<\/p>\n
