Puts the role and motivation of Arab news organizations in clear perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A scholarly work that drills down to the core on why the predominantly Arab news organizations cover what they do and how they can portray the same incident in such different lights. Full of the intrigue and forces behind what is called news in the Arab world. Provides many thoughts on how we should engage with the Arab media (and as it points out, that means the media's political sponsors) to correct the misperceptions and downright falsehoods portrayed there.
