The Role of the Digital Media Platform "Facebook" in Providing the Public with Information About the Economic Challenges Facing the Transitional Government in Syria

Abstract

In light of technological advancements and rapid transformations, digital communication and media technologies have profoundly influenced the media landscape both internationally and domestically. This development has significantly benefited the media and communication sectors, as digital media now plays a pivotal role in content creation and disseminating news and information about current events. These technologies are essential pillars for the success of news organisations and facilitate effective communication with their audiences, particularly concerning the economic challenges faced by the Syrian government, which resonate with public interests. This article also seeks to illuminate the role of social media platforms, specifically "Facebook," in conveying information to the public regarding the economic challenges of the Syrian government through a content analysis methodology employing media and social media monitoring techniques, with a particular focus on the Facebook platform.
