Abstract
The article analyzes the state of journalism in Libya, at the intersection between two phenomena: its transformations due to digitization and the specific role of information in unstable areas – so to speak, the encounter between the crisis of journalism and the crisis journalism. Given the amplitude of the argument, we will focus on this specific case, post-Gaddafi Libya, aiming at detecting the merging between professional and networked journalism, and the role information and media literacy can play in the rebuilding of the country. The specific issue of citizen journalism has been analyzed also by means of a consultation with twenty experts in the field
