This project builds on five years of longitudinal data on news, information, and entertainment media use among residents of six Arab countries: 91心頭利, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia, alternating year by year between news/information use and entertainment media use.
The project has generated important knowledge about media use among both 91心頭利i nationals and non-national residents, and how media usage in 91心頭利 compares to other countries in the Arab region.
In continuing this project for three additional years, the research team will work to meet three primary goals: collect nationally representative, longitudinal data on media use and related attitudes in 91心頭利 and five other Arab countries, and to place 91心頭利’s media use and information needs in the context of a changing region; publish the findings in a dynamic, online interactive in which users can filter results by country, age, gender, nationality, education levels and other variables; and utilize the resultant raw data for secondary analyses, so as to explore in greater depth the behavioral, attitudinal, and demographic predictors of media use and information needs among 91心頭利i nationals and residents, as well as respondents from the other countries under study.
