Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Why women are
taking to YouTube in Saudi Arabia
The Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia may be most conservative state the world. In a country where there
are no movie theaters or hardly any music concerts, YouTube seems to play a
more significant role for entertainment than other countries. And the producers
of such vlogs, or video blogs, especially women, are often referred as YouTuber
or vlogger, who often play the main character of such videos. When a vlogger’s
video goes viral, she becomes incredibly popular overnight in not only the
country but also other places that share the same language and customs. As more
people spend time on their smartphones rather than a TV set, popular female vloggers
are creating huge number of subscribers with their straightforward and no-fear
attitude.
Enjoy reading
and thinking if those vloggers change the male-dominant society from cyber
space.
