The Screening Protest Project

Four years after the Arab uprisings

One of the challenges of the project is to make sense of how, in the new media ecology, journalists do not just report protests – they are also involved and in some cases the object of them. On January 1st, a retrial was ordered of the three Al Jazeera journalists imprisoned in Egypt for over a year. Their imprisonment sparked protests by journalists across the world.
