Arab revolutions have open up new areas of expression and new horizons. They have enabled the Western world to discover other parts of reality, which had by and large remained “invisible”, in particular an invigorated, motivated youth. However, the European media coverage of this “area” remains incomplete and sometimes biased. Its sole approach is based on the “confrontation between secular people, islamists and terrorists”. Orient XXI is convinced that the large Arabic and Muslim area deserves a different media treatment and believes that the analytical framework used for the rest of the world should apply also to Arab and Muslim societies. Journalists, young people, researchers, historians, diplomats, writers, etc. on both sides of the Mediterranean have the possibility to make known their views in Orient XXI.
Apart from publishing articles in French, Orient XXI is developing its Arabic section set up a few months ago. This latest addition is increasingly appreciated in France and abroad. Orient XXI is also in the process of proposing a section for young people where short articles on topical issues will be published on a regular basis (“what is colonisation ? What France is doing in Syria ?, etc.)
As stated earlier we have useful partnerships with international media. We are more than willing to play our part in France. As far as this country is concerned, our ambition is to contribute to the development of a space for a media network that would be also a symbolic place for a different press.
Media is communication. The Anna Lindt foundation has a strong and well-functioning network of organisations. To get involved in this network will surely serve our interests and our ambition to build relationships with media across the Euro-Mediterranean area.
