The rise of regional media has provided weaker states with opportunities to challenge the monopoly of information on the part of the more powerful states. <em>Al-Hurra</em>, the American sponsored channel to the Arab World, stands as evidence of the challenges facing US policies in this part of the world because of the influential role of regional media.

The Internet-based social networks caught the Mubarak regime by surprise, and the popular disillusionment with the 'national' media led the public to turn to private newspapers and satellite channels for keeping pace with the events. This paper examines the role of specific media during the 18 days of the 2011 Egyptian revolution-from 25 January to 11 February, 2011-which we have divided into four parts. It discusses how these media contributed to the unfolding of events, conceptualized the protests and the demands of the public, and presented the actors that participated in or opposed the revolution. These points are addressed by discussing the content of the Facebook pages of the Sixth of April Movement and We Are All Khalid Said, as well as that of a private Egyptian newspaper, al-Shuruq, and the state-run newspaper al-Ahram.
