Since the second Intifada (2000–2005), it has become clear that the internet has influenced Palestinian political mediation and grassroots activism. It serves to spread textual, visual, and audio narratives beyond the confines of (self-) censorship, caused by certain commercial or political interests in the mainstream media that in themselves come to function as gatekeepers by determining what stories are publicized or properly contextualized.
Venue:
