The Tunisian revolution upended the authoritarian role of Ben Ali’s regime over media outlets in Tunisia. Faced with a popular uprising that was supported by young activists on Facebook and Twitter, Tunisian newspapers, television stations and radio struggled to adapt. This presentation will evaluate the evolution of Tunisian media in the immediate and chaotic aftermath of the Tunisian revolution through the summer of 2011. The presentation will rely on an analysis of media sources (radio broadcasts, television programs, and newspaper articles) for the bulk of paper’s conclusion. As conditions permit, interviews with journalists and other Tunisians who work in the media industries may also add to the paper’s conclusions. In conclusion, this paper will outline the key challenges facing Tunisian media in the aftermath of January 14, 2011. Journalistic freedom, objectivity in reporting and adequate source verification will be addressed. In addition to challenges, the paper will also address the potential for all types of Tunisian media to contribute to the political, economic and social debates that have become a hallmark of civic life in the aftermath of President Ben Ali’s regime. This paper will contain information and perspectives gathered first-hand by the author in Tunisia. From this unique perspective, the paper will deal with the freedom of expression as it applies to the press, the transformation of the media, and its role in a "free society." Some of the questions the paper hopes to address are: How does one go from state propaganda machine to a free press? How is the media trying to regain people's trust in the aftermath of the Tunisian revolution? What are people demanding of their media after January 14, 2011?
