Arab Spring Sparks International Debate on Citizen Journalism
The 10th session of the 12th Doha Forum, which was held here earlier Tuesday entitled, "Media" focused on ''citizen journalism'' and its role in political and social change, underlining its ability to eliminate boundaries imposed by authorities on media
MP Ben Bradshaw, the Former UK Secretary of State of the Department of Culture, Media, and Sport and Exeter ,spoke in an exclusive interview to Qatar News Agency (QNA) Tuesday about how the Arab Spring has inspired the international media setting: "The Arab Spring has been an influence, we all watched pictures and reports of protests and democracy movements throughout the period and I think we felt very inspired by the people s courage and the persistence of journalists in covering a very difficult situation and times," he said.
"It has also sparked a debate in our own society about the role of conventional media, social media, and citizen journalists," he remarked. Bradshaw also spoke to QNA about one of the highlights of the session; citizen journalism as an emerging phenomenon.
"In the end, the public will make a judgment on the material they are seeing or receiving based on whether it responds to the experience of their lives, that is how you build trust, it is through objective, impartial, truthful reports," he said.
The former UK Secretary of State remarked on the hierarchy of media: "There is a hierarchy of media in that respect, some bloggers just expressing their own views to trusted media people who promoted trust over time so in a way the issue needs to be turned around the other way. Unless the journalist behaves ethically, truthfully or even a citizen journalist, they will not develop that relationship of trust with the consumer," he told QNA.
Speakers during the session expressed different views on citizen journalism. "We are in the media era. Media has turned into the event itself," Head of Mass Communication Department at Qatar University Mahmoud Galander said.
For his part, Aljazeera News Director Mustafa Sawaq said that new media has provided a chance for better coverage. "It has provided the ordinary citizen with tools," he said.
Director of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation and Atlantic LIVE Editor-in-Chief Steve Clemons indicated new systems redefined by new media.
"New media is varied in the world we are moving into," he said adding that a new vision is required through technology. Hassan Al Rashidi from the Qatar Doha Centre for Media Freedom considered citizen journalism to be a phenomenon and underlined journalist safety and freedom.
"Days will push all journalism to fixed techniques and put objective preconditions on citizen journalists as well," he said adding,'' Arab Spring has opened the eyes of journalists and politicians."
Learn from Arab Spring, Israel told
Addressing a key forum here, the Emir said: �The Israeli premier is now required to take a long-awaited step towards achieving peace.� And the peace must be based on cessation of (Jewish) settlements (in occupied Palestinian territories), the 1967 borders and the two-state solution.
The Emir reminded Israel without mentioning any (Arab) country that it should not be �betting on others against their people� or it would be isolated and left with no friends.
Arab public opinion seeks freedom of citizens as well as of countries. �Palestine is the last Arab homeland that has not been given its freedom till date, and it�s time to earn it,� said the Emir while opening the �12th Doha Forum and Enriching the Middle East�s Economic Future� Conference at the Sheraton Doha.
The three-day event concludes tomorrow. Present were Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
H E Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al Thani, and the Chairman of Administrative Control and Transparency Authority H E Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah, among others.
The Emir told Israel in no uncertain terms that it is a mistake to leave the Palestinian issue pending on the international agenda. �The will of the Arab people will not allow that anymore.�
The Arab people will not forget Palestine nor will they forget the thousands of the Palestinian prisoners who are languishing in Israeli jails or their besieged brethren in Gaza and elsewhere.
�Therefore, Israel must adhere to the rules of international law, recognize the legitimate (Arab) rights of the Palestinian people, withdraw from Syria�s Golan Heights and Lebanon�s Shebaa farms and refrain from practices that hinder the peace process, including Judaization of Jerusalem.�
If not, Tel Aviv will miss the opportunity for peace since the coming generations of Arab people will not accept injustice or occupation, said the Emir.
He noted that the 12th Doha Forum was being held at a crucial and decisive stage in the history of the Arab nation and amidst several important regional and global developments.
Many of the events that are currently taking place in the Arab region and elsewhere in the world had already been issues that had been listed on the agendas of the Doha Forum since its 4th edition held in 2004.
Citing an example, the Emir said the Forum has called to begin reforms in the region. �If these calls would not have fallen on deaf ears, the history of the region should have taken a different course over the past year.�
Deprivation is one of the main factors that sparked revolution in the Arab world, said the Emir, adding that unemployment having the potential to undermine social stability must be tackled effectively coupled with educational reforms.
Talking of the impact of the economic crisis on poorer nations, the Emir said they are faced with deepening poverty, food shortages, declining flow of direct foreign investment and exports.
Official aid to these countries fell last year causing concern, the Emir said. Qatar, he said, had doubled its official aid in 2011 to $730m over the previous year.
Government and non-governmental aid (from Qatar) this year is expected to reach $990m and this does not include the aid provided by some government agencies, the Emir said urging donor countries to provide aid to poor countries in ratios suggested by the United Nations. The Peninsula
HH the Emir Opens Doha Forum and Enriching the Future Conference
HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani opened the 12th Doha Forum and Enriching the Middle East's Economic Future Conference at the Doha Sheraton Hotel on Sunday morning
HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani opened the 12th Doha Forum by welcoming the participants and stressing the importance of this session as it comes at a crucial and decisive stage in the history of the Arab nation and amid many regional and international developments.
HH the Emir noted that many of the events which are currently taking place in the Arab region and around the world had already been issues listed on the agendas of the previous sessions of this Forum.
For example, HH the Emir explained, since the 4th session of Doha Forum in 2004, the forum has called to begin reforms in the region. If those calls have not found deaf ear, the history of the region would have taken different paths over the past year.
HH the Emir said that the Arab freedom uprising were preceded by a complete rigidity and ineffective policies and public anger. Some people had ignored these indicators to be then surprised by revolutions that exploded to announce a historic and unprecedented transformation. Arab uprising won or they are on their way to victory, HH the Emir noted, yet expressed regret for the precious blood of innocents which shed and is still flowing because some regimes are still rejecting the immediate reform.
HH the Emir underlined that the Arab peoples arose to restore their freedom and dignity. He believed that they will be the bond upon which the system of regional relations will be build over the coming years.
The Arab public opinion seeks freedom of citizens as well as countries. Palestine is the last Arab homeland that has not been given its freedom till the day, and it is time to earn it, HH the Emir said.
HH the Emir believed that it is a mistake to leave the Palestinian issue pending on the international agenda, noting that the will of the Arab people will not allow that anymore. HH the Emir called on Israel to take a positive step for peace and coexistence.
HH the Emir highlighted that the Arab spring must be accompanied by a spring for a just peace in the Middle East, noting that the Arab people will not forget Palestine or thousands of the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails or the besieged people in Gaza and others.
Therefore, Israeli must adhere to the rules of international law, recognize the legitimate Arab rights of the Palestinian people, withdraw from the Syrian Golan and Lebanese Shebaa Farms and refrain from practices that prevent the achievement of a just peace in the future, such as building settlements and the Judaization of Jerusalem, otherwise, it will miss the chance for peace because the rising generation of the Arab peoples will not accept injustice or occupation.
HH the Emir reviewed the political developments in Israel during the last days, during which the Israeli Prime Minister was able to form the largest and most powerful government coalition in Israel's history. By doing so, the Israeli Prime Minister himself dropped the Israeli argument that the fragility of the coalition government does not allow flexibility or make any compromises. The Israeli Prime Minister is now required to make a long-awaited step towards achieving peace that is based on the cessation of settlement, the 1967 borders, and the two-state solution, HH the Emir said.
Israel can not rely anymore on its friendship with rulers who were overthrew by the Arab spring revolutions, and it should not be betting on others against its own people and the overall opinion, because in this case Israel will find itself with no friends at all, HH the Emir said. HH the Emir went on going that Arab Spring also sought to restore the peoples economic and social rights, not only their political ones. Deprivation was one of the main reasons that sparked the Arab spring revolutions. It will soon be clear that transition to democracy cannot be separated from development policies, bridge the gap between the rich and the poor and create a favorable economic conditions to expand the middle class.
HH the Emir underlined that transition to democracy has a number of challenges: First: There are a lot of complex economic problems that require long time or that may be hard to solve once such as low economic growth, high rates of unemployment and low productivity. People should be engaged to understand the difficulties with complete transparency in order to make it clear what can be processed immediately and what would need time and what are the priorities.
Second: The political freedom, which is the foundation of democracy, does not necessarily lead to economic justice if not accompanied by social and humanitarian development and fair social policies.
Third: Unemployment and re-evaluation of education systems must be given the utmost importance. Unemployment is one of the most important factors that can undermine social stability. It deprives the worker of his income, and negatively affect his self-esteem and may lead to frustration or anger and rebellion.
Fourth: The ultimate objective should be the sustainable development, which include achieving its economic, social, human and environmental objectives.
HH the Emir also noted the challenges of achieving the Millennium Development Goals in developing countries, saying that achieving most of these goals by 2015 became elusive in poorer countries. This applies to the goals associated with securing sanitation and the provision of safe drinking water, primary education for all, the protection of biodiversity, the reduction of mortality rate of children under five, women's empowerment and reducing the number of undernourished people in the world.
The food and economic crises have played a major role in increasing the food shortage situation and deepened poverty in the poorest countries. The economic crisis led to a decline in direct investments and declining exports of these countries. Even official aid to these countries, which did not fall during the economic downturn, has fallen in 2011. This phenomenon is a cause for concern especially if the downward trend continued in, HH the Emir said.
HH the Emir noted that the State of Qatar has doubled its government aid in 2011 compared to 2010. The aid reached $ 730 million during last year. The government and non-governmental aid in this year estimated at about $ 990 million and this does not include the aid provided by some government agencies. HH the Emir urged all donor countries to work on approaching the official aid of 7 per thousand of gross national income ratio which is suggested by the United Nations.
HH the Emir underlined that the Millennium Development Goals should be achieved despite the expected delay, adding that additional development objectives should be formulated to take into account the new events and developments and the significant differences between members of the same country.
Concluding, HH the Emir underlined that Doha Forum will remain a platform for exchanging opinions about regional and international developments and proposing anything that would promote democracy, development and free trade.

Mideast facing hard challenges, says PM
He said there was no doubt that the most important elements that represent the characteristics of the political stage the region is passing through, was the strength and effectiveness of the broad popular demands for reform, which were the main motive for Arab revolutions. For this reason we have seen the strong popular move towards demand of the rule of law, respect for freedoms, uprooting of corruption and consolidation of economic and social development, HE Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim said.
The Prime Minister explained that these aspects were interrelated and had reciprocal influences on each other, expressing the hope that the discussions would be comprehensive in nature and focus on accurate analysis and objective criticism.
The Middle East region is facing today hard challenges, starting with the identification of means of movement toward reform and ending with the provision of means of peace, stability and new construction of community life at the national level, he added.
He said: �If we added to this the apparent failure so far to eliminate known conflicts on the scene on the basis of a peaceful settlement under the international law, particularly the Palestinian problem, appears the magnitude of the challenges we face. For this reason, we have to acknowledge the fact that the achievement of reform, development, peace, security and stability, requires co-operation and solidarity. Concluding, HE the Prime Minister believed that the world was now facing serious challenges, whether economic or political which leave �for us options that need accurate and effective decisions and mechanisms�.
Guest of honour, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaske said that the world now was facing many challenges notably the economic crisis and the food sufficiency issue.
Addressing the forum�s opening session Rajapaske said Sri Lanka had been emphasising over the last 30 years on being an economic hub in the region, a point deemed important amid the economic crisis. It�s also focusing on being an economic hub in ex-trade and commerce in the region. He further stressed in the same vein that Sri Lanka was putting efforts in the production in rural areas, railways industry as well as building a hub to shipment to be expanded in South Sri Lanka and facilities in maritime.
