Middle East: Webcams Now Weapons of Mass Communication

 

Via a new citizen website, TalkBackTV MidEast, bloggers and activists in the Middle East can now openly criticize televised news. The site allows individuals to publish video commentary in split-screen, alongside video of the original news story. Although in its infancy, TalkBackTV MidEast is already facilitating the free exchange of ideas, allowing citizens with on-the-ground experience to contribute to news reports, question media coverage, and lampoon politicians.
