CAIRO - The web and social networks were crucial during the protests in Egypt. But a fundamental role also had the "old" television. If the Internet has helped organize the protest and communication among the protesters, especially in the more targeted policies, such as against Mubarak or the one that portatao the expulsion of Tunisian President Ben Ali, the TV, since the beginning of the revolts in North Africa , had an important role in linking the protests.
WATCH: THE MAP OF PROTESTS The revolution in TV. In this case the TV has a precise name: Al Jazeera. The issuer of Qatar, on the screens around the world for the past 15 years, opted for a line of constant coverage of the protests. A head that almost became a "flag" of all North African revolutionary movements.
The news of Al Jazeera told the protest with great attention to detail and an emphasis, with a special eye for the reasons of the demonstrators. Services and talk shows have highlighted the discontent of the people involved and the pressures experienced by these political factions closer to the West and Israel.
Conduct which gave rise to violent and immediate reactions to the issuer, whose fixed structures and furniture have been attacked and damaged. In the eyes of the beholder, the international media, television in Qatar's North African riots took an active role as much as the Net If it was possible with the internet to tell the world protests, Al Jazeera - at least according to many international observers - would then irradiated internally directed to the areas involved with a very attentive.
From TV to reality. Al Jazeera has an active role in targeting North Africa is difficult to say. The closure of the Cairo offices of the issuer and the arrests of six of his journalists in Egypt would then be a consequence of the alleged sympathies to Al Jazeera, with its services, would have shown, against the opposition after the expulsion of Ben Ali of Tunisia.
But the distrust with which the pro-Western governments look at the issuer has deep roots in the Middle East: from accusations of support for Hamas in Palestine since 2008, until the recent "leak" of documents relating to alleged agreements between the ' Palestinian Authority and Israel about prisoners and concessions on territories for the Jewish state.
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader, has openly accused Al Jazeera of stirring up hatred against him and his political role. Following the event, Al Jazeera's offices in Ramallah have been subjected to some attacks. In Lebanon, the station has been accused of excessive benevolence towards the Shiites and information "driven" negative toward the deposed premier, Saad Hariri and his supporters.
Again, the TV of Qatar has suffered violent retaliation. More recently has not gone unnoticed by the active involvement in the demonstrations, envoy of Al Jazeera in Tunisia, which has become a focal point for protesters. Mohammed Krichen, anchorman of the issuer knows that the role of the TV channel she works for is crucial.
Despite the widespread perception of political preferences of Al Jazeera and its close links with the Arab aristocracy, the Arab world recognizes it as one of the best tv channels from which to learn. Krichen declares the New York Times: "Since the overthrow of Ben Ali, Al Jazeera reporters have expressed enthusiasm for their active role in the development of events.
We should never think that our task is to free people from the Arab dictatorships." And he concludes: "But we can not afford not to cover in detail the protests. We capture every moment because every moment could be when a dictator starts to fall."
