Who’s Who Out There?
Abeer Mishkhas, abeermishkhas@arabnews.comA report recently published in the Arabic edition of Forbes magazine analyzed trends, successes, failures, strategies and the financial side of the Arabic media.
The report contains an amazing quantity of accurate and dependable statistics — something we sorely lack in the Arab world — dealing with the number of media outlets in the Arab world, the success stories and the main players on the scene. A careful reading of the report gives a sense of what the Arabic audience wants and, most interestingly, what it lacks. It also reflects, with all the accompanying contradictions, the present cultural atmosphere in the Arab world.
Ms Mishkhas comes through with another fascinating look at the Arab media. This time, she’s working from a report published by Forbes, in Arabic.
It’s a terrific look at the dynamics driving media in the Arab world. Her noting that over 90 applications for broadcast licenses are now being processed in Dubai is certainly eye-catching.
If the Arab media is of interest, this is a great place to start.
