Abstract EN

The study proceeds from the Corona pandemic to look at how Libyan satellite channels deal with global crises, in a digital era, where knowledge flows at a pace the world has not witnessed before.

Satellite channels have broken all barriers between peoples and facilitated the circulation of news, information and the exchange of views in its programmes.
