Artists on digital platform challenges
During the session titled "A New Era in the Arab Drama Industry" at the Arab Media Summit 2026, discussions centered on the transformations taking place in the cinematic and television drama industries, particularly the impact of digital platforms and social media on actors' stardom and artistic legacy. Actor Youssef El Khal clarified that widespread presence on social media mainly reaches Arab expatriates and does not necessarily equate to achieving global fame. He emphasized that deep and meaningful content is the true measure of success for works that cross geographical and cultural boundaries. Actress Yara Al-Sakaki highlighted the importance of social media in introducing new stars and ensuring their continued success. Meanwhile, actor Ahmed Al-Awadi pointed out the need to strike a balance between the rapid pace of digital production and content quality to preserve artistic impact and immortalize artists' legacies in the Arab world.
