Hotline Journalism

Does the Arab electronic press in general offer a real free alternative to traditional "e;paper"e; newspapers, even if these newspapers are free?! This legitimate question, if measured against the distribution rates of newspapers in the Arab world, will give us an honest picture of the absence of the luxury of owning newspapers and reading them through the traditional medium of reading framed by paper, inks, and printing presses, and in the end with a number placed on the copy price box, which may not be possessed by anyone who wants to know or who possesses it. He abstains from it. By following up and monitoring the information available about electronic publishing, we are certain that its current reality needs development in the content of the message, and that it has in fact overtaken its traditional paper competitor in expansion and spread. However, despite everything that has been said about competition, expansion, replacement, and other optimistic terms for transformations This reality remains an obstacle to reaching the largest segment of users regarding free information, not free technical support, an obstacle to the development of this type of journalism in our world to suit the users' need for it, with an important addition, which is that the term "e;user"e; here means the reader of the information. And its product at the same time.
