The 200-page-book published in cooperation with Al Mahrousa Publishers is considered the first hands-on guidebook on the topic in Arabic. Prominent Egyptian authors share their insights regarding the various aspects of blogging. "With this manual we want to promote citizen journalism in Egypt and the Arab world and strengthen the freedom of expression in this part of the world", said FNF's Regional Director Dr. Ronald Meinardus at the launching ceremony in Sawy Cultural Wheel in Cairo.   The workshop and the book are part of the project "Express Yourself and Be Free".  You may download the manual for free   http://www.fnst-egypt.org/
A broad consensus emerged that the social media had played a crucial role in bringing down the autocratic rulers in Tunisia and Egypt and that, likewise, bloggers have still an important role to play in countries like Syria, Bahrain and Yemen. At the same time, participants noted that the regimes are cracking down on online dissent and threatening bloggers and other activists in their very existence. On the sidelines of the workshop, the Regional Office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (FNF) launched a manual on blogging in the Arabic language.
