For Some, YouTube is also an Important Source of “Truthful” News TV Coverage
n In Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, YouTube is more popular than Facebook.
n More Kuwaitis named YouTube than any other platform as their most important source of information.

“Every (platform) completes the other. That means (neither) TV nor
YouTube tells you the complete news.” (Kuwait, male, YouTube user)

never get from TV. Most people watch YouTube.”

A Digital Strategy
29

Platforms
§ Facebook and YouTube for content. § Twitter to bring attention to content. § Mobile apps for citizen mediated news § Integrate digital and traditional platforms.
Countries
§ Egypt and Maghreb for large audiences. § The Gulf for active and diverse users.
Content
§ High penetration countries – content for men, women, young, and old.
§ Low penetration countries – content for youth, especially men.

And Perhaps, Most Importantly Remember…
n Conditions will change – Keep on asking questions. n This is just a start – Also need to consider politics, government
regulations and controls, competitors, deeper differences within and among countries, new technologies, etc.
