In Tunisia, the revolution is continuing, particularly in the media sector.

At the start of the program, 

Ahmed Amine Azouzi

, consultant in media economics and creative industries, looks back on the upheaval of the Tunisian media landscape since the revolution.

Tunisia has three times more television and radio channels than 10 years ago, but the number of newspapers printed has melted like snow in the sun.

The media revolution in Tunisia took place online, explains Ahmed Amine Azouzi, citing the examples of Nawaat and Inkyfada.

But also the current role of youtubers like Must Last. 

Second guest,

Malek Khadhraoui

, co-founder and director of publication of the

Inkyfada

website

.

After having been one of the participants of Nawaat, a forum that became a collective blog in opposition to the Ben Ali regime, Malek co-founded Inkyfada, an investigative site that brings together talented journalists, graphic designers and developers.

The level of requirement and competence of Inkyfada's teams has made this site a benchmark among digital media around the Mediterranean.
