Business and Financial Journalism in the Arab World

Business and Financial Journalism in the Arab World examines news coverage and journalistic practices around the reporting of business and finance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Through content analysis of regional newspapers and in-depth interviews with journalists and editors, the authors provide insight into the diversity of news cultures, values, and reporting practices across the region. The research reveals that while MENA journalists face significant challenges, these obstacles often mirror those experienced by Western counterparts rather than stemming primarily from political or religious constraints.

This book will interest academics and students in journalism studies, media studies, Middle East studies, and business and management, as well as practicing journalists and readers interested in understanding how financial journalism operates in non-Western contexts, particularly within the unique political and cultural landscape of the MENA region.
