Beyond Technology and Development: Reflections on the Digital Double Bind
In the Middle East, digital technologies have ushered in a new era of connectivity and global integration, promoting political, economic, and social opportunities. However, adopting these technologies presents a digital double bind for states, markets, and publics. States leverage digital technologies to drive economic growth and modernize their infrastructure, yet simultaneously seek to control and restrict their uses to preserve power and uphold societal norms. Markets embrace the innovation and dynamism brought by digital technologies while clinging to entrenched economic structures that curb the professed entrepreneurial spirit of the digital age. Middle Eastern publics harness the empowering potential of digital platforms to invigorate cultural politics and foster social movements, all while contending with the same tools being employed for surveillance, censorship, and repercussions. Occasioned by the release of the open-access edition of Mohamed Zayani and Joe F. Khalil’s The Digital Double Bind (2024), this article deepens the understanding of these dynamics, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach to digital transformation in the Global South and inviting further scholarly reflection and policy engagement.

Television in the Arab Region
This chapter focuses on Arab‐language television directed toward Arab audiences. Aside from their shared Arabic language, these audiences could not be more politically, economically, culturally, and even religiously diverse. Politically, the audiences are citizens of 21 countries, each subscribing to a different political system, from religious monarchies to republics. Spread over Western Asia and North Africa, these independent states form three distinct groups: the Levant on the Eastern Mediterranean, the Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula, and the Maghreb in the North African states. The chapter first presents a brief overview of the development of Arab television since its introduction in the late 1950s until today. It is followed by an analytical description of the structure of Arab television with a focus on ownership, production, distribution, and advertising. The chapter also provides an in‐depth discussion of television content and programming practices. It also presents an analysis of how Arab television is integrating into global TV industries.

Youth‐Generated Media
This chapter debates the relationship between youth and media by focusing on communication for social change and gives readers a sense of the history, development, and central concepts of youth‐generated media. It offers a comprehensive framework for understanding young people's self‐expressive artifacts. The first section of the chapter offers a historical trajectory concerning the study of youth and media. The second section proposes an explication of the concept of youth‐generated media as developed by young people themselves, and juxtaposed to youth‐oriented media. The third section proposes two broad conceptual approaches to youth‐generated media: a “sponsored‐development” approach with a relatively dominant adult involvement and an “organic” approach with youth taking charge of their own media production. The fourth section offers brief illustrative case studies from the Arab Spring. The chapter concludes by highlighting the utility of the concept of youth‐generated media and the challenges in understanding and interpreting young people's activities.
