  • Chapter 4 the Right-Wing Media Enablers of Anti-Islam Propaganda
    Chapter 4 The right-wing media enablers of anti-Islam propaganda Spreading anti-Muslim hate in America depends on a well-developed right-wing media echo chamber to amplify a few marginal voices. The think tank misinforma- tion experts and grassroots and religious-right organizations profiled in this report boast a symbiotic relationship with a loosely aligned, ideologically-akin group of right-wing blogs, magazines, radio stations, newspapers, and television news shows to spread their anti-Islam messages and myths. The media outlets, in turn, give members of this network the exposure needed to amplify their message, reach larger audiences, drive fundraising numbers, and grow their membership base. Some well-established conservative media outlets are a key part of this echo cham- ber, mixing coverage of alarmist threats posed by the mere existence of Muslims in America with other news stories. Chief among the media partners are the Fox News empire,1 the influential conservative magazine National Review and its website,2 a host of right-wing radio hosts, The Washington Times newspaper and website,3 and the Christian Broadcasting Network and website.4 They tout Frank Gaffney, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, and others as experts, and invite supposedly moderate Muslim and Arabs to endorse bigoted views. In so doing, these media organizations amplify harm- ful, anti-Muslim views to wide audiences. (See box on page 86) In this chapter we profile some of the right-wing media enablers, beginning with the websites, then hate radio, then the television outlets. The websites A network of right-wing websites and blogs are frequently the primary movers of anti-Muslim messages and myths.

Mª Antonia Martín Díez Universidad Europea de Madrid Visión genérica de la comunicación en América Latina por medio de diferentes apartados en los que se reflejan desde la dependencia de los Estados Unidos hasta los logros e intentos de desa- rrollar medios de comunicación que busquen y profundicen en las raíces culturales latinoame- ricanas. El surgimiento de grandes grupos autóctonos de comunicación y sus alianzas con gru- pos de los países desarrollados es otro de los aspectos a resaltar. a estructura de la comunicación latinoamericana se encuentra inmersa dentro del sistema internacional de la información1 . En ella encontramos, obviamente, las tendencias de intercambio e interdependencia actuales. LEstas se pueden producir bien como relaciones paralelas (junto a), bien como relaciones opuestas (frente a). Entre las numerosas tendencias que subyacen en la estructura de la comu- nicación latinoamericana cuya investigación nos ha llevado a descubrir, destaca- mos las siguientes: 1-. Regionalización versus globalización. 2-. Poder autónomo versus poder dependiente. 3-. Proteccionismo versus librecambismo. 4-. Estatismo versus privatización. 5-. Civilización occidental versus otras civilizaciones. 6-. Culturas propias versus cultura norteamericana. 7-. Exposición ideológica directa versus método del entretenimiento. 1 Ver sobre el tema, S.

  • Energy in Jordan a Youth Perspective Position Paper
    Energy in Jordan A Youth Perspective Position Paper A joint project between Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Germanwatch and the Written by: Green Generation Foundation Amjad Khashman Kareem Shukri Qusai Al-Abbassi Mohammad Aliwat Ehab Al-Amleh Sewar Taweel Safa Al-Momani Sarah Haddadin Leen Baddar Yousef Awawdeh “Young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are the leaders of today […] Young men and women like you are bringing new energy, creativity and dynamism to labor markets, to schools, to universities like this one [University of Jordan], to government, and – I hope – to diplomacy and international relations.” - UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon in Amman 2016 - [LW1] The impacts of climate change can already be felt across the world and are becoming more severe as the global average temperature rises. Countries all over the world are engaged in a race against time to tackle the global climate crisis. Limiting global warming implies reconsidering almost all elements of our daily life, most of which are connected to the energy sector: water, food, buildings, transportation, global trade, etc. The energy sector is the largest source of global greenhouse gas emissions through its burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity, produce heat or power engines, which directly causes climate change. However, as technologies rapidly improve and prices drop, many renewable energy options have emerged as an alternative to fossil fuels. Promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency is now an important part of the international climate debate and national energy policy in many countries, both of which are aimed at slowing down climate change.

  • Algeria - Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on Monday 24 November 2014
    Algeria - Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on Monday 24 November 2014 Information on whether the Presidential election of April 2014 was considered free and fair including if there were any voting irregularities In April 2014 a document published by The Guardian states: “Abdelaziz Bouteflika has been sworn in for a fourth term as Algeria's president after he won an election that opponents dismissed as unfair and returned to power for another five years” (The Guardian (28 April 2014) Abdelaziz Bouteflika sworn in for fourth term as Algerian president). Reuters in April 2014 points out that: “Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the independence veteran in power for 15 years, won re-election on Friday with more than 80 percent of a vote opponents dismissed as fraud to keep an ailing leader in power” (Reuters (18 April 2014) Algeria's ailing Bouteflika wins re-election). This document also states: “Benflis, a former FLN chief and once a Bouteflika ally, called the vote a fraud and refused to accept the results. But he gave little evidence and the government dismissed his claims” (ibid). The United Nations News Service in April 2014 notes: “Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today congratulated the people and Government of Algeria on the peaceful holding of recent presidential elections and encouraged them to work together to strengthen the democratic process in the country.
