What impact does our culture in the Middle East have on journalism and media? What can we do to present alternate views and encourage thinking outside the box?

Thank you for the invitation I apologize for the answer, there is no experience to me, leave the answer for the professionals.

Journalism is influenced by our culture in a huge manner; as we notice topics that don't comply with certain beliefs or norms won't see the light and get published. There will always be taboo topics that no one will have the freedom to talk about or write about without being attacked. Well to make them think out of the box you would have to change the mentality of the whole population in the middle east!!! And goodluck with that ;) But you must know that change comes gradually and not by using " Force" and then you will be able to write without being forced to shape your topics and words to fit in the whole culture battle field!!!
