NEWS in MENA: A Special Report on News Streaming
A Data-Driven Guide to News streaming in MENA
How do people in MENA consume News Today? Through traditional satellite TV? on their favorite streaming Apps? Or exclusively via social media?
I’m not here to start the debate about whether the next generation trusts traditional media. Instead, I want to answer another question:
What does the News landscape on MENA streaming platforms really look like?
And why has News become one of the most popular streaming genres in 2024?
MENA isn’t just one region, it’s 20+ countries, each with its own way of telling news. Add to that millions of expatriates seeking updates from their home countries.
The rise of FAST channels is also changing News distribution by making traditional networks more accessible to a broader audience.
