"Chayka.lv is an independent media outlet established in 2019 that provides free, high-quality, politically neutral information to the Russian-speaking community of the Latvian city of Daugavpils, including news, entertainment, human-interest and other factual content.

It has been supported to develop its journalistic capacity, expand its audience and progress towards financial sustainability by Internews’ project Supporting Independent Media in the Baltics Action (SIMBA), which was funded by the US Department of Human Rights and Labor between 2019 and 2022. In August 2021, Internews commissioned the Market Research Center to conduct a detailed research study into Chayka.lv’s impact on the media landscape of Daugavpils. This report is the product of that study, and highlights how Chayka.lv was the city’s third most popular Russian-language media outlet at the time of writing, that survey respondent’s viewed Chayka.lv as the only politically neutral source of information in Daugavpils, that it has a significant female following and that Internews’ support correlates with growth and expansion."

he public and could further undermine established peace in Libya. Media narratives dominating Libya’s security sector revolve around three axes: whether actors are legal or illegal, whether they supported or opposed the 2011 revolution, and whether they are correct or deviant Muslims. Security actors use these narratives to build their legitimacy. Of the three channels monitored, Libya Al Ahrar was the most balanced but displayed a cautiously anti-Islamist, institutionalist agenda. Al Nabaa was mainstream Islamist and a staunch supporter of revolutionary units, such as the Libyan Shield Force. Libya Awalan was strongly anti-Islamist, conservative, and a vocal supporter of Haftar’s actions in Benghazi. Libyans have little trust in any of the main regional and Libyan national television channels, including the national broadcaster, Libya Al Wataniyah, which fares no better than the private channels."

"Alors que les pays du monde arabe subissent les effets d’une instabilité politique, l’intérêt ou les inquiétudes qu’ils suscitent en Occident ont permis au grand public de découvrir les chaînes satellitaires de la région, dont la plus connue est sans nul doute Al-Jazeera. Mais quel est

justement l’impact de ce média ? Quel rôle joue-t-il ? Quelles représentations véhicule-t-il ? De quelle société se fait-il le porte-parole ? Si Al-Jazeera est quelque peu atypique, la tentation reste grande néanmoins de l’opposer à l’écrasante majorité des autres chaînes de la région pour noter à quel point elle est “ démocratique ” et donc… à quel point les autres ne le sont pas… L’intérêt majeur de cette étude est de dépasser enfin les limites de ce type de raisonnement en prenant pour point de départ deux postulats : le premier est la nécessité de ne pas séparer les médias des sociétés desquelles ils sont issus (et donc des processus historiques qui traversent ces sociétés) ; le second consiste à appréhender les médias arabes comme un système (on ne peut les comprendre et comprendre leur mutation qu’en analysant comment ils se développent les uns en relation avec les autres). L’accent est mis sur le cas égyptien pour illustrer la réflexion et montrer comment l’évolution d’un système médiatique particulier est bien le fruit d’un ensemble complexe de contraintes et d’opportunités, venant tant de l’intérieur que de l’extérieur du territoire national, et impliquant tant l’État que les acteurs du secteur privé. Enfin un ouvrage de référence en français, extrêmement documenté, qui pose les jalons d’une recherche sur les médias arabes." (Description de la maison d'édition)
