Reporting the Middle East: The Practice of News in the Twenty-First Century: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Reporting the Middle East: The Practice of News in the Twenty-First Century" wrote himself).

How do the media cover the Middle East? Through a country-by-country approach, this book provides detailed analysis of the complexities of reporting from the Arab World. Each chapter provides an overview of a country, including the political context, relationships to international politics and the key elements relating to the place as covered in Western media. The authors explore how the media can be used to serve particular political agendas on both a regional and international level. They also consider the changes to the media landscape following the growth of digital and social media, showing how access to the media is no longer restricted to state or elite actors. By studying coverage of the Middle East from a whole range of news providers, this book shows how news formats and practices may be defined and shaped differently by different nations. It will be essential reading for scholars and practitioners of journalism, especially those focusing on the Arab World.

Zahera Harb is Senior Lecturer in Journalism at City University of London and - photo 1
Zahera Harb is Senior Lecturer in Journalism at City, University of London and previously worked as a journalist in Lebanon. She is the author of Channels of Resistance in Lebanon: Liberation Propaganda, Hezbollah and the Media (2011) and co-editor (with Dina Matar) of Narrating Conflict in the Middle East: Discourse, Image and Communications Practices in Lebanon (2013), both published by I.B.Tauris.
This book offers interesting perspectives on Western media depictions of the Middle East from a range of Arab countries. The fact that the volume includes chapters on Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and Palestine, predominantly by writers and scholars of Arab origins, makes a valuable contribution to existing literature on issues of media representation from and of the Arab world.

Acknowledgements
A few weeks after I arrived in the UK from Lebanon for my PhD, the 11 September atrocities took place. I soon realised that the Middle East and Arab world that I knew, grew up in and worked in as a journalist was different from the one I watched and read about in the American and British media. In 2004, the idea to put together a module on reporting the Middle East came about. Professor Terry Threadgold of the Cardiff School of Journalism and Professor Kevin Williams of Swansea University approved the modules rationale and listed it as a taught module in both the Cardiff School of Journalism and the MA Erasmus Mundus at Swansea. In 2007 I, with my Reporting the Middle East module, moved to Nottingham University. From Nottingham I moved to the City, University of London Journalism Department where the Reporting the Middle East module gained a more practical dimension. This book emerged from the module.
All thanks go to both Professors Threadgold and Williams who encouraged and supported me in sharing my own experiences and analysis as a journalist from Lebanon with journalism students. The module grew to include guest speakers journalists and academics, who have worked in or on the region. Many of those who contributed to the module as guest speakers are featured in this book. My gratitude and thanks go to the book contributors for their willingness to participate in, and commitment to, this project. This book is of both an academic and non-academic nature. I want it to appeal to my journalism students first and foremost. I would like to thank all my Reporting the Middle East students over the years. Many of them have made me proud of the journalism they have produced, remembering that history, context and semantics are three aspects they need to consider when reporting the Middle East.
Thanks go to my friends and colleagues in the UK and around the world, who hear and see me repeatedly and passionately speak and post regarding British and American media Orientalist tendencies, about coverage inaccuracies and about how, in many instances, journalism values are lost when it comes to reporting the Middle East, Islam and the Arab world. Special thanks to Dina Matar for her continuous support as a friend and colleague. Many thanks to long-time friend Sadie Clifford who dedicated the time and energy to proofread this book and for her valuable editorial comments. Last, but not least, my thanks go to I.B.Tauris editor Joanna Godfrey for her support and patience.
