We're joined by Kareem Sakka for Episode 98 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss the role of independent media from the Arab Spring to the ongoing October 17 revolt.

Kareem shares his thoughts on independent media's capabilities when it comes to storytelling and narrative, especially during times of immense political and economic change for the region over the past decade.
