“…Some of these services were even able to compete with regional television services such as Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya TV (Elareshi & Gunter, 2012b). This is acceptable because of the progressive development of Libyan television combined with the fact that any significant coverage of Libya in regional television services is either absent or misleading.…”

“…Television in Libya is still by far the most consumed media and the most important source of information (Al-Asfar, 2013;Altai Consulting, 2013;Elareshi & Gunter, 2012b). One of the habits in Libya is watching TV every day, with the most popular channels, local or non-local, very well-known (Dowson-Zeidan et al, 2014).…”

“…This study came as a response to researchers' calls to conduct more studies to explore the main trends of news production and consumption in different areas in the world (Elareshi & Gunter, 2012). Also other academics have urged that more studies should be conducted in order to arrive at a fuller understanding of multilingual news coverage in global news production (Abudl-Mageed & Herring, 2008).…”

This study aimed to contribute in establishing an international journalism model of professionalism in the production of the news. The main purpose is to explore the degree to which this model predicts the professional values in the media content. In particular, this model was tested on the content of a leading news organization in the Middle East, Al Jazeera, to identify whether or not Al Jazeera reflected professional values in news production or other non-professional values. A total of 592 news stories-234 from AJE and 358 from AJA-published from January 1, 2014, to April 30, 2014, were analyzed. The findings of this study indicate that Al Jazeera reflects professional values to a substantial degree. The professional values were reflected highly and nearly two thirds of the stories had professional values in the content. The chi square tests shows there are frequency/percentage differences, but overall the patterns are similar, with no statistically significant differences in the AJA and AJE.Scholarly implications, future studies and limitations were presented in this study.

“…This rapidly evolving news landscape raises questions about how media consumers in GCC regions -particularly young adults -make decisions about which source to turn to for their local news. Evidence has emerged (see e.g., Dutta-Bergman, 2004;Elareshi & Gunter, 2012) of competition between new and old media when both cater to the same audience needs and gratifications (see e.g., Heikkinen & Reese, 1986;Levy & Windahl, 1984). This pattern has migrated to the Arab world, with its burgeoning suite of news providers, and the newer news media have begun to usurp the older ones (Dennis et al, 2013).…”

This paper reports a study of the use of local news sources by young people in GCC countries. With the expansion of pan-Arab news services, especially via satellite TV channels, concern has grown that these well-resourced news operations have pulled audiences away from local news suppliers. New research reported here indicates that there is still an appetite for local news and that even young people -who have displayed the greatest enthusiasm for the newer services -will tune into local news services both online and offline. Local services may represent niche markets and cater to specific news interests that have prevailed despite the popularity of pan-Arab news services. 1221 media and communication students completed a survey, reporting how and where they get their news in different GCC regions. The research found that most respondents followed what was happening in their local communities and that their news consumption could be quite varied. Rather than relying on one or two main sources of local news, most respondents reportedly used a wide variety of online and non-online sources depending on which local topic they were seeking information about.
