Qatar: Nation of Paradoxes
There is no doubt that Qatar is a rich nation. Its access to oil has allowed for a prosperous economy that has given it the resources it needs to become a highly modern, globalized country with a prospering media environment. Qatar boasts Al Jazeera and Doha News, contributing to the label of Doha as a “media hub”. 99.2% of Qatar’s population lives in urban areas, mainly in Doha. This means the majority of the population is immersed in this environment where traditional Islamic values are intermingled with visions of progress, globalization, and modernization.
