Content Spotlight: North Africa and the Middle East Transformed

By May 20, 2011mesh11

If you’re interested in the dramatic news out of Egypt, Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa, you’ll be in fine company at mesh – so are we! And we have the content this year to keep you fascinated, including appearances by people who were on the ground as events developed, participating in them and reporting home about them.

Some sessions to keep an eye on:

Society Keynote with Ron Deibert of Citizen Lab
Old Media, New Media and Revolutions in the Middle East
Digital activism in an Age of Unrest
Egypt: A Case Study in Digital Activism
Al-Jazeera Reinvents Television for the Online Age
– Political organizing in a wired world – a very special session produced by TVO’s The Agenda, onsite at mesh.

Finally, on the evening of May 26th at the Munk School of Global Affairs Journalism Lab, CBC’s Brian Stewart will be moderating a panel discussion titled “Tweeting the Arab Revolutions” with mesh speakers Mona Seif, Sarah Abdurrahman and Jillian York in a panel discussion.

We hope to see you at mesh11! (Online ticket sales end at noon today!!)
