Through detailed discussions of the regulation and economics of these industries, the authors argue that the political, technological and cultural changes on the global media scene have resulted in the reorganization of the Arab media field. They provide striking examples of this through the particular effects on media policies, media technology and the content and genres developed for the new generation of media consumers. \u003cp\u003eAs part of the book's overview of the contemporary characteristics of Arab media, the authors outline the development of the role of modern Arab media from a tool of mobilizing the public to a tool of commercial and symbolic profit. Overall, the volume illustrates how the Arab region represents a unique case where the commercialization and liberalization of selected media industries has gone hand in hand with continuous state intervention and an increasing self censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for students without prior knowledge of the topic, \u003ci\u003eArab Media\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for all interested in the contemporary global media industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Noha Mellor is Senior Lecturer at Kingston University, Khalil Rinnawi is Lecturer in the College of Management at Tel Aviv University, Nabil Dajani is Professor of Communications at the American University of Beirut and Muhammad I.
