Prisoners’ Radio by Attar, Dalia

“…Overall, results from MFA covering 10 Lebanese mainstream media outlets, 10 alternative media outlets in the MENA region and nine international prisoners’ radio programs (29 in total) show that most of the Lebanese news outlets provided predominantly positive stories endorsing the measures taken by authorities to combat Covid-19 in prisons while alternative media in the MENA region and international prisoners’ radio presented negative stories highlighting the lack of sufficient measures, reinforcing the need to do more to combat healthcare risks and increased isolation of prisoners. On the other hand, results from 10 in-depth interviews revealed the benefits of alternative media and highlighted the importance of alternative media production in keeping people behind bars informed and connected to the outside world e specially during a crisis like Covid-19 when prisoners’ isolation was heightened due to strict lockdown measures. …”
