DESCRIPTION:Media, censorhip, and new media in the Arab Revolutions\n\nThe real 
 enablers of change were huge numbers of people moving into the streets with 
 camera phones.  Rising Internet access, YouTube videos, satellite TV 
 reception, and liberalization of media censorship played important roles, 
 but ultimately it was long-standing economic and political grievances and a 
 demonstration effect from Tunisia onwards that pushed broad masses of 
 people to break through the threshold of fear of armed state power.\n 
 \nSharat G. Lin is president of the San Jose Peace & Justice Center. He 
 writes on global political economy, the Middle East and South Asia, labor 
 migration, and public health. Dr. Lin spent a week in Tahrir Square at the 
 height of the popular uprising in Egypt, and has lived in the Middle East 
 for many years.\n\nFree to Students\nOpen to the public: $5-10 suggested
