Citizen journalism under the state of emergency vs anti-terrorism proclamation nexus in Ethiopia: courses and prospects
(İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2017) Haile, Yirgalem Abebe
This research sought to demonstrate the courses and prospects of social media particularly Facebook as an alternate Subaltern space and citizen journalism as a counterhegemonic practice appeared during Oromo and Amhara protests and under the state of emergency in Ethiopia. To achieving its objectives, the research has employed qualitative research technique and citizen journalism as a Subaltern space as a theoretical framework. Based on the idea that Subalternism infers revolution and fighting power from below through forms of communication in the aim of mobilizing and advocating ideologies of liberation and freedom from oppression, the research has then selected four sample cases where Subaltern spaces have used extensively. The analysis and discussion indicate that Facebook for the first time has used as Subaltern space extensively, to bring socio-political change in the history of Ethiopia. Accordingly, this form of Subaltern space would become in jeopardy under the State of Emergency as it has witnessed in the Anti-Terrorism Proclamation, and the actor (citizen journalists) will not have an opportunity to practice their power.
