Abstract EN
Because of the crisis that Bahrain is facing, many have wondered what the sources of the problems, strife, and rivals between the people are.
If we had to relate this issue to media, it is clear that the spread of Blackberry smart phones in every household in Bahrain changes the entire concept of what is sent? Who it’s sent by? How it is sent? And many unanswered questions.
To have a wider understanding of this issue, a survey was distributed to a group of people ages (18- 28) to come up with an accurate percentage of how Blackberry broadcast messages have in fact been one of the major sources of the crisis and the later support of the king.
In this research, a survey was distributed to 100 people who were supporters of the government to use the statistics as a support for our discussion.
Our questionnaire reveals how the use of blackberry might have affected each person during this event.
The broadcast feature in the Blackberry helped make events such as Al Fateh gathering, King supporters gathering, a success in Bahrain regardless whether receivers believed the information or not, this was in fact a process of keeping people up to date and also giving each and every man, woman, child, in Bahrain the courage to converse and the voice to speak.
