This study relied on the methodology of content analysis of media education curricula in Arab public and private universities, with a focus on the skills and knowledge taught in skills-based journalism courses.

The study revealed that the media departments in Arab universities responded in different ways and in varying degrees to these challenges, and a wave of change affected the curricula of teaching journalism and mass communication as an expression of the awareness of those in charge of these curricula of the importance of developing and updating these curricula to face the rapid developments of the digital media landscape.
