Reviews
From the Foreword:
“The diverse issues the book deals with are well complimented with the diverse backgrounds of its research team. . . . Such knowledge of contexts and surroundings becomes indispensable in the chapters on Arab media, a field in which reliable sources in English are extremely scarce.”
