A new survey is claiming that there are now more people in the Arab world who are Facebook users than there are newspaper readers.
The research was conducted by a Dubai-based PR agency, according to a report by the BBC.
The company said it found there are now over 15 million users of the social network, while the number of newspapers sold in Arabic, English and French stands as just below 14 million.
When the agency calculated figures in Egypt, it found 3.5 million facebookers – far more than the readership of any daily newspaper in the county.
