阿拉伯公民采用互联网的博客技术，以类似于全球同行的方式，为不同观点创造了一个场所。最初，少数博客主要用英语写作，并在其内容中反映西方风格，开创了阿拉伯博客圈。此后，数千个阿拉伯博客加入了他们的行列。人们注意到它们的影响，无论是对政治和媒体的直接影响，还是它们通过提供即时网络和扩大言论自由空间使公民社会成为可能的能力。它们也给本国政府带来了意想不到的挑战，引发了不一致的反应。本文分析了该地区的法律、法规和用于管理那些选择加入日益增多的全球公民记者的国民的方法，以及他们如何经常学会无视这些规则。主要焦点是埃及的部落格，因为他们在地区部落格圈中具有影响力。
Arab citizens have adopted the blogging technology of the internet to create a venue for alternate viewpoints in a manner similar to their global counterparts. Initially a handful of bloggers, writing mostly in English and reflecting a Western flavour in their content, initiated the Arab blogosphere. They have since been joined by thousands of Arabic blogs. Their impact has been noted, whether directly on politics and media or in their ability to enable civil society by providing instant networking and expanding the space for freedom of expression. They have also created an unexpected challenge to their governments, causing inconsistent reactions. This article analyzes the region’s laws, regulations and the methods used to govern those nationals who choose to join the growing number of global citizen journalists, and how they often learn to defy those rules. The primary focus has been the case of Egypt’s blogs due to their influential role in the regional blogosphere.
