Abstract

The research problem can be identified in monitoring, analysing and studying the exposure of the Egyptian public to satellite channels directed in the Arabic language and its relationship to the level of knowledge of Arab crises. The results indicate that the respondents with high exposure to satellite channels amounted to 48.25% of the total items of the study sample, while the percentage of respondents with medium exposure to satellite channels reached 30.00%, and the percentage of respondents with low exposure to satellite channels was 21.75%.
The results  also assert the existence of a correlative and statistically significant relationship between the respondents' exposure levels to satellite channels and the levels of exposure to satellite channels directed in the Arabic language. The results indicate that there is a correlative and statistically significant relationship between the respondents ’exposure levels to satellite channels directed in the Arabic language and the respondents’ knowledge of Arab crises.
