Business and Financial Journalism in the Arab World examines news coverage and journalistic practices around the reporting of business and finance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Through content analysis of regional newspapers and in-depth interviews with journalists and editors, the authors provide insight into the diversity of news cultures, values, and reporting practices across the region. The research reveals that while MENA journalists face significant challenges, these obstacles often mirror those experienced by Western counterparts rather than stemming primarily from political or religious constraints.
This book will interest academics and students in journalism studies, media studies, Middle East studies, and business and management, as well as practising journalists and readers interested in understanding how financial journalism operates in non-Western contexts, particularly within the unique political and cultural landscape of the MENA region.
"An important book looking at the challenges and opportunities of covering business and finance in the Middle East, an area of increasing importance in the global economy but a region that would benefit from independent journalistic scrutiny."
-- Steve Schifferes, Marjorie Deane Professor of Financial Journalism, City University of London, UK
"In my own experience, this book truly encapsulates the dynamics of the ways in which journalists work and display their stories when reporting business and financial news in the Arab region."
-- Giovanni Bandi, Former Director of Investment Manager, Advisor & Securities Supervision of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority (QFCRA)
