Abstract

This study aims to identify the change that videos broadcast on Facebook can bring about in shifting public opinion. It also aims to clarify the sources from which local and international channels, newspapers, and news agencies receive news when covering events in Sudan. A descriptive and analytical approach was used, along with questionnaires and observation as sources of information. The study yielded several important findings, the most important of which are: 1. The study demonstrated that social media sites have become a source of trust for the majority of the sample, more than other media outlets. 2. The study revealed that Al-Ensirafi videos broadcast on Facebook had a clear impact in changing decisions at the state level in favor of citizens. 3. The study demonstrated that Al-Ensirafi videos played a clear role in boosting the morale of citizens and the armed forces. They also featured good and honest news coverage and demoralized the enemy.
