This guide is updated regularly and is available for purchase. It is the only directory of its kind in the nation. Please send us any information about newspapers and organizations so we may include them and update this document. Send your updates to [email protected]. Data changes quickly. We try to include web pages to help when that happens. Thank you.

How to use this guide

• Use the directory to identify Arab American news media, journalists and writers, and mail, fax or email a press releases to them to promote a new product, an event or contact information on issues of interest to readers. • Use the directory to network and find employment by reaching out to professionals. • Use the directory to contact regional leaders who can participate in events and speak to issues of interest to your specific field of service. • Use the directory to contact various institutions such as mosques, churches, journalism association and other organizations.

The guide is divided into several sections detailing information on National Contacts, Midwest Regional Contacts, non-U.S. locations and Online Internet resources.

We do our best to keep the directory updated based on the review of actual copies of publications from around the country and the world. However, email and internet information changes frequently and we update this directory several times each year. New editions are available by annual purchase. If you see data that has changed, please email it to us and we will make any updates immediately. Your suggested updates will help everyone. This listing reflects a mailed out response. Mailing bounce-backs have been removed.

Another public resource we help to update is the Arab American Press Project. Here is the link and we hope it helps: http://www.library.ucla.edu/url/colls/mideast/pages/aapp.htm

Thank you for supporting this project by purchasing the Media Directory.

MEDIA OVERVIEW

When we talk about the American Arab media we do not include media originating from the Middle East (or correspondents based in Washington or New York who work for Middle East country media, such as al-Jazeera or al-Arabiya or al-Quds al-Arabi which is based in London).

Also, about half of the American Arab media are actually activists who produce “media” that is not necessarily journalistic but more issue advocacy.

Page - 5 - NAAJA, the National American Arab Journalists Association has about 225 “members” – we do not charge a membership fee and we are mainly a networking organization. About half are employed with mainstream American media and the remainder work for the American Arab ethnic press.

PRINT MEDIA

We have seen a slight increase in the number of American Arab Newspapers published in the past two years. We have I believe a total of 108 publications, two that publish weekly, 75 that publish twice each month and the remainder monthly or more sporadic …

The majority of the newspapers are cut-and-paste, reproducing articles either by clipping or by re-publishing, from publications in the Middle East.

About 80 percent of the content is focused on Middle East politics; about 20 percent or less focuses on American Arab events and issues.

About 40 percent of editorial copy is Op-Ed commentary.

About 5 percent consists of feature stories.

About 65 percent of the publications only publish in Arabic, the remainder are bi- lingual, though English language sections generally only consist of about 25 percent of editorial space.

About half of the publications identify as being Muslim Publications … about 15 percent identify as being Christian publications

(There are about 7 million Muslims in the United State and about 22 percent are Arab … The largest majority of Muslims are Black Muslims; there are about 4.5 million Arabs in the United States and 62 percent – estimated – are Christian Arab. This does not include Christian Middle Easterners such as Assyrians and Chaldeans who do not consider themselves Arab, though they speak Arabic fluently and live or originate from Arab countries.)

BROADCAST MEDIA

We have about 11 radio programs that focus on American Arab or Middle East issues, that range in time from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Almost every show that I know is on brokered media. There are no mainstream radio programs that showcase American Arab issues.

Some of the more popular ones include

Good Morning Michigan WNZK AM 690 in Detroit 8-9 AM EST Radio Baladi (which I host) in Detroit WNZK AM 690 (Fridays 8-9 am EST) Radio Chicagoland WSBC AM 1240 and WCFJ AM 1470 8-10 am Sundays in Chicago (which I host)

There is at least two radio shows in New York, one in Houston, one in Atlanta. Page - 6 -

We have no mainstream TV programs focused on American Arab issues, but we do have six cable TV programs ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
