Media in MENA

After reading the chapter and watching the movie in class, I have a new view about news in MENA. It is developing and growing into a strong entity that other countries are noticing. If a free press is essential to a true democracy, than the fact that they are striving for a free press is a huge step in the right direction. Hopefully they can keep out of the pit falls that corporate media and keep going in the direction of a free democracy.
