AlJazeera Centre for Studies hosted its seminar, “Media in Political Transition: The Case of Tunisia", on 6 December 2014 at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Doha. The seminar, which ran from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm, presented outcomes from the first phase of a joint research project between AlJazeera Centre for Studies and the University of Cambridge. The project was launched in August 2013 and addressed the problems of the relationship between information systems and the political system, the role of media in the public sphere, its relationship to civil society organizations, gender issues in media and the role of professional rules governing media in establishing a culture of dialogue. Yesterday’s programme concluded with a special session discussing traditional and new media’s frameworks and elements of news coverage of the Tunisian elections.
