– the exceptional coverage of two international events: the Gulf War and, above all, the attacks in New York on September 11, 20019.

Four angles of appreciation of the “Arab street” emerge:

1) the “Arab street”: a geostrategic and diplomatic challenge;

2) the “Arab street”: an unpredictable entity in an East/West configuration;

3) the “Arab street”: the support of a hero;

4) the “Arab street”: the target of a communication strategy.

In the first case, the journalist is like a relay, if not a spokesperson for people’s diplomacy. In the second and third configurations, they comment with an overhanging and holistic view; in the last case, they consider the “Arab street” as a public opinion.

The year 2011 seemed to correspond to a break from these interpretative frameworks of the “Arab street”. Reflexive and critical articles multiplied singularly at the time of the “Arab revolutions”. Post-revolutionary disenchantment and subsequent events will put the “Arab street” back on its old trail.
