Examples of what I am going to contribute as my article's 'lead' section, because I am creating my own article from scratch: there still needs to be edits made but this is the beginning of my introduction and lead section. It needs more information (citations are included in the actual article draft).

Introduction

Arabic media is derived from Arab culture, and contains the media content, organizations, and journalists surrounding Arab culture and people, both historically and currently. Media content and organizations can include anything related to print media, broadcasting, news media, advertising, cinema, and more.

The term "Arab" refers to any individual who speaks Arabic as a first language, and can be ethnically and religiously heterogenous in its makeup. The Arab world, according to scholars, consists of 22 countries in the Middle East and Africa which belong to the Arab League, including Algeria, Bahrain, the Comoros Islands, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Arabic media sources have contributed to a world-wide Arab culture, and the many global diasphoric communities of Arabs, by re-producing culture, media, and Arab interests. As well, social media of Arabic origination has led to political uprisings, like the Arab Spring, and continue to influence politics and culture worldwide.
