Coverage of the «Arab Spring» in the Spanish media

Abstract

The events of the Arab Spring shocked the whole world in 2011. It is the fact that five years have passed since then, it allows us to gather enough information to analyze those revolutions and assess their consequences for both the participating countries and the whole world. This paper provides a detailed analysis of how the events of late 2010 and early 2012 were reflected in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Algeria in the media of Spain, a European country that is territorially located near the North of the African continent.

The topic is as relevant as ever for study, since there have been very few such studies in our country. This work is an excellent opportunity to compile already conducted disparate studies with new discoveries and structured formulation of conclusions regarding the attitude of Spain to everything that happened in the mutinous Arab countries.
