Video: The Changing Nature of Protests

There were a number of fascinating comments during this CoJo/Frontline Club 'On the Media' event looking at the changing nature of protests. One of the most memorable was when Jacky Rowland, the Al Jazeera English correspondent, said Egypt spring 2011 could be as important for Al Jazeera as the First Gulf War was for CNN. 

It put into context the significance of what is happening now in Egypt and across the region - a time of huge change both in terms of the nature of politics and the way in which protests are organised.
