Through
the Lens Darkly:
News Media Complicity
and
the Selling of Never-Ending War
A Talk by Eduardo Cohen
Eduardo
Cohen
Lecturer, Researcher,
Investigative Journalist |
Eduardo Cohen will present critical
analysis of what he calls, "monumental
journalistic failure" in coverage of US
Middle East policy, the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq, the manufactured threat of Iran, and
the War on Terror.
He will describe how anti-Arab and anti-Muslim
racism, propaganda, nationalism, ethnocentrism
and militarism combine with news media complicity
to distort and even reverse reality in Middle
East coverage.
He will also connect the Cold War with globalization
and the War on Terror and discuss the importance
of critical news consumption and support of
alternative media. |
