Comments on: Investigative journalism in TV http://mahmood.tv/2007/04/30/investigative-journalism-in-tv/ An Arab man's attempt at bridging the cultural gap and trying to make a difference. Failing a lot. Succeeding once in a while.

Bahrain needs its own Al Jazeera... with little political interference. Can't say it's something I'm expecting though.

The Bahraini blogosphere is really active (could be more active but still, much thanks to bloggers like Mahmood it's really influenced the flow of information, freedom of speech, etc) and it has given us a powerful media alternative... one that we actually have a voice in.

In the past ten years, journalism in Bahrain has not moved forward as much as it should have. I think in general the country is heading for quantity rather than quality when it comes to newspapers. There is no such thing as investigative reporting/journalism. And I doubt there will be anytime soon. As for televised news, its rotten to say the least. If we look at BTV news now and BTV news 30 years ago (or however many years its been operating), we'll see that it is the same. Its sad but true.
