"Lawrence Pintak remains the foremost chronicler of the interaction between the Arab and Western media world." -- 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." -- Ambassador 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   "Many Western journalists have been fascinated by the Middle East, but very few are capable of telling you just how it works. The significance of the change in Arab media scene over the last fifteen years has not been fully understood. This book helps you understand in an enjoyable way.
