NAWA Media is run by a team of media researchers, experts and practitioners in the fields of digital media, online journalism and civic activism, and based at the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research. We also work in collaboration with our network of NAWA-based partners and with e-learning experts across Europe and the UK.
Our Team
Dr. Dima Saber
Dima is a Reader in Media and Cultural Studies at the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research. She is responsible for leading and delivering projects in citizen journalism in the Arab region, with a focus on the role of digital media in fostering social change and in altering the work of political activists in post-revolution countries such as Egypt, Tunisia and Syria.
Dr. Jerome Turner
Jerome is a Research Assistant at the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research with research interests in online communities and social media, and community studies as explored through his recent work on the Media, Community and the Creative Citizen project. His PhD study focuses on hyperlocal media audiences in the UK.
Kipp Jones
Kipp co-runs Wild Ilk Limited, a start-up graphic design studio working in brand, web and print design. Whilst collaborating with the NAWA Media team he developed a new graphic style for the organisation which could then be applied to various forms of screen media, including this website.
Haramoun Hamieh
Haramoun is a media worker and consultant. He co-founded and managed several media initiatives at the intersection of social sciences, journalism, archiving and design. He is interested in exploring the various ways digital media, big tech and algorithms influence how we learn about and react to hyperlocal and global events.
Reina Angoujard
Reina is an expert in the planning, development, and implementation of communications strategies. She is currently consulting on several projects, using her expertise to assist in developing evaluation and monitoring policies as well as writing impact reports, and is solicited for trainings and workshops.
Partners
Our network of partners provide field training to media activists, citizen journalists and online investigators across the Arab region. They also are the first users of these resources, and this platform wouldn’t have been launched without their experience, feedback and contribution.
