Public Service Europe.

Professor Montserrat Guibernau discusses the role of the internet in political change across North Africa and the Arab world. She writes: “It is absolutely baffling to witness the readiness of large numbers of people prepared to blindly trust the messages posted on Facebook and Twitter to the point of considering them much more reliable than the information facilitated by news agencies, governments or non-governmental organisations.”
