1. The Arab Spring is basically a movement of protests and demonstrations that have been occurring across the middle east, as well as north Africa. Motivation for this movement come from factors such as government corruption and employment decline. Through the Arab Spring, governments have already been overthrown. Just like many other protests, violence is another result of this movement.
2. The role of "citizen journalists" in this movement is basically to aware others of what is going on. Not only does "citizen journalists" arise awareness to the movement itself, but also to the results and changes that occurred because of the movement. By using media such as Facebook and Twitter, these citizen journalists are able to fill in the gaps that traditional media/journalists leave. Because many of this is first hand experience, these blogs are a lot more widespread.
