>The Global Media and the War on Terrorism

>

>
>At this time of crisis and conflict there is an immense need for 
>reflective and internationally aware public debate. The parameters 
>of our understanding, however, are to a considerable extent framed 
>by the media sources on which we rely for our information. This 
>panel of local scholars will critically examine the role of the 
>media at this time, both in the United States and elsewhere: in the 
>Middle East, the former Soviet Union, and South Asia. What 
>perspectives are overlooked in mainstream US coverage of the war, 
>and how can we overcome inadequacies in our primary news sources? 
>How and why is this conflict viewed differently elsewhere? And what 
>constraints exist on media discussion in these countries? Brief 
>presentations by the expert panelists will be followed by an open 
>discussion on these issues.
>
>Wednesday 17 October
>7.30 p.m.
