Join the conversation at 19:30 GMT.watch_now/ In Ethiopia, are free speech and the media being hurt by anti-terror and telecom laws? What do you think? Record a comment for Tuesday’s show. Ethiopian Journalist Abebe Gellaw will be a guest of “The Stream”
The Stream is a new phenomenon – a web community with its own daily show on Al Jazeera. The Stream taps into the extraordinary potential of the increasing power of social networks to disseminate news. Individuals have now become an integral part of the newsinformation network through their ability to publish information and share opinions on events as they take place.
The viral nature of social networks allows for such information to spread and multiply rapidly. While these developments have the potential to generate more heat than light, to a broadcaster like Al Jazeera, they are also a huge opportunity to reach news in places and at levels until now impossible.
The Stream is a super-aggregator of these online sources, seeking out both untold stories and new, ground level takes on stories in the mainstream.
