Praise for The New Arab Journalist: Mission and Identity in a Time of Turmoil
‘Lawrence Pintak remains the foremost chronicler of the interaction between the Arab and Western media worlds.’
Rami Khouri, American University of Beirut and Editor-at-Large, The Daily Star (Beirut)‘This book is a unique contribution and a must read for anyone interested in media and in Arab politics.’
Amb. William A. Rugh, author of Arab Mass Media‘The real story in The New Arab Journalist is its serious attempt to grapple with one of the main stories of the age for Arabs and non-Arabs alike: the intractable overlap between Arab satellite TV as a new phenomenon and Arabness, as an ancient and diverse identity.’
Abderrahim Foukara, Washington bureau chief, Al-Jazeera‘Finally, Arab journalists are given a chance to voice their views about their profession and their societal roles.’
Philip Seib, Director, Center on Public Diplomacy, University of Southern California“[Pintak] has been himself a direct witness to the revival of the Arab media and his knowledge of the region shines through this study of the Arab media and politics.” Arab News
