The Arab media is in the midst of a revolution that will inform questions of war and peace in the Middle East, political and societal reform, and relations between the West and the Arab World. Drawing on the first broad cross-border survey of Arab jourbanalists, first-person interviews with scores of reporters and editors, and his three decades' experience reporting from the Middle East, Laurence Pintak examines how Arab jourbanalists see themselves and their mission at this critical time in the evolution of the Arab media. He explores how, in a diverse Arab media landscape expressing myriad opinions, jourbanalists are still under siege as governments fight a rear-guard action to manage the message. This innovative book breaks through the stereotypes about Arab jourbanalists to reveal the fascinating and complex reality - and what it means for the rest of us.
