Article title change

I don't understand the recent article title change from "Media in Syria" to "Mass media in Syria". The article is about media in Syria - print, broadcast and online - and not specifically about "mass media", so the new title doesn't make sense. BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Editors agree that Media in Syria is the proper precise title for the scope of the article. (closed by non-admin page mover) Squawk7700 (talk) 19:30, 12 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Mass media in Ba'athist Syria → Media in Syria – Six years ago, this was the title of this article, and it is now a redirect. As argued above (in "Article title change"), changing from "media" to "mass media" made no sense, since the article covers the media broadly. Now that Assad has fallen, the article needs to be updated, but creating a new article "Media in Syria after the fall of Assad" creates an unnecessary split. "Media in Syria" can include both the historical situation and the present one. Lova Falk (talk) 07:50, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

PS. I have already started a section about media after Assad's fall. Lova Falk (talk) 07:52, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support move back per OP and above talk sections. BobFromBrockley (talk) 08:26, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
