Of the enormous number of books published on the Arab-Israeli
conflict, most focus on its history or the political dimensions of
the current peace process. None, however, has provided an in-depth
look at the relationship between those who shape the events and the
Western journalists who cover them. In this bold new study,
Mohammed A. el-Nawawy explores the ways in which government
officials try to manipulate the news media, how the reporters
contend with such interference, the professional and newsmaking
roles of the journalists, and how their demographic and educational
backgrounds influence their coverage of this crucial time and
place.
Through interviews with 168 Western correspondents--94 in Israel
and 74 in Egypt--who, together, represent more than 88 percent of
the whole population of foreign correspondents in the Middle East,
the author provides an invaluable source of information on the
day-to-day activities of reporters in the region, as well as their
interactions with government officials.
