Information power is Changing

By: Manal Abdullah

The biggest changing that we face today is our ability to get information and act towards these information.

Mazen Nahawi , Managing Director of Media Watch Middle East and SocialEze researcher said that in his speech to Zayed University students last Monday.

Mazen said that media in the past didn't tell the truth. Media hid the truth and told people that there is no problem, while there was a problem in a matter of fact. Media and governments did that probably because they are afraid of people’s reaction.

Mazen said that we Arabs are courageous and brave. However, we are afraid of impressments and humiliation. That’s why media hide the reality. In the past, we didn’t have the power of information which made us not know our own history.

“Today, young Arab generation have the power of knowledge, have the power of truth” Mazen said.

He said people knows their rights to information and they fight for it. Thanks to social media, the barriers are gone so, people came. Social media controls politics, family rights women rights and simply everything. Because the power is shifting to people.
