Communications and information scholars--mostly in Europe and the US but also Egypt and the United Arab Emirates--display the increasing convergence of social sciences and humanities in the field of media and communications by looking at print and electronic media in the Arabic world. Their topics include the effects of Islamist media on the mainstream press in Egypt, a qualitative and quantitative content study of Lebanese television, and Syrian television makers between secularism and Islamization.
