<div> </div>This article elaborates on the role and movement of murshid as an informal institution in the tarekat, which is at the same time an integral part of the Sufism tradition. By using a socio-historical approach, this article identifies the intellectual movement of murshid in reproducing and reformulating strong beliefs as a connector of scientific transmission traditions (sanad), which are convened into two categories. First, the movement that interprets murshid activism in terms of their personal characteristics, such as their thoughts that play its function in regulating some religious aspects, especially as a reference for the followers. Second, the musrhid movement that links a structure into social functions, for example creating, disseminating, and carrying out culture. Murshid in this category is identified as the holder of scientific sanad that have vertical mobility to save the world so that it does not become a prison for individuality. This category of murshid charisma can be the foundation of the followers of the tarekat to avoid a lot of false information, the spread of hoax news from social media, and various other noises in this post-truth era.

Background This article explores the complexity of citizen participation in social media and crowdsourced journalism by utilizing the case of r/SyrianCivilWar, the sub-community of Reddit where users discuss the Syrian crisis.Analysis In examining the limitations and affordances of the platform, the article identifies features that characterize the r/SyrianCivilWar community, namely: algorithmic driven public discourse, deliberative communication, reflexivity and transparency, and database journalism. These features shape the functioning of the community and have broader implications for citizen crowdsourced journalism projects.Conclusion and implications The article demonstrates that alternative media practices, such as crowdsourced journalism, are limited in their capacity to reach mainstream consciousness. In the commodified landscape of media, portability—a capacity for complex issues to be distilled into a simple or simplified concept—is made important.Contexte Cet article explore la complexité de la participation citoyenne dans les médias sociaux et dans le journalisme financé collectivement en recourant au cas de r/SyrianCivilWar, communauté sur Reddit où l’on discute de la crise syrienne.Analyse En examinant les limites et avantages de la plateforme, cet article identifie certaines caractéristiques de la communauté r/SyrianCivilWar, à savoir : un discours public basé sur des algorithmes, une communication délibérative, la réflexivité et la transparence, et un journalisme de données. Ces caractéristiques influencent le fonctionnement de la communauté et ont des implications plus larges pour les projets journalistiques financés collectivement par les citoyens.Conclusion et implications Cet article démontre que les pratiques médiatiques alternatives, telles que le journalisme financé collectivement, sont limitées dans leur capacité à rejoindre le grand public. Le caractère commercialisé des médias traditionnels rend importante la portabilité, c’est-à-dire la possibilité de transformer des questions complexes en concepts simples ou simplifiés.

Syria's devastating war unfolds during unprecedented flows of imagery on social media, testing in new ways the media's influence on decision-makers. Three decades ago, the concept of a “CNN Effect” was coined to explain what was seen as the power of real-time television reporting to drive responses to humanitarian crises. This essay explores the role traditional and new media played in U.S. policy-making during Syria's crisis, including two major poison gas attacks. President Obama stepped back from the targeted air strikes later launched by President Trump after grisly images emerged on social media. But Trump's limited action did not shift policy. Interviews with Obama's senior advisors underline that the media do not drive strategy, but they play a significant role. During the Syrian crisis, the media formed part of what officials describe as constant pressure from many actors to respond, which they say led to policy failures. Syria's conflict is a cautionary tale.
