COMMISSIONED ANTHEM Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church’s Minister of Music Emeritus, Ken Lowenberg, has been commissioned by Georgetown Lutheran Church to compose an anthem to celebrate the church’s 250th (!) anniversary. The church is located at 1556 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20007. Founded in 1769, 32 years before the City of Washington became the capital of our nation, Georgetown Lutheran is the oldest Lutheran congregation in Washington DC.The anthem is a setting of a poem, “Rededication,” by a Georgetown Lutheran member: Adam Orshefsky, based on Isaiah 58:6- 12, set to original music by Ken Lowenberg. Following the guidelines laid out by the church’s Music Director, the anthem is partly in unison, partly 2-part mixed (i.e. all the women singing one l ine, and all the men singing a contrasting line). There is also a 3-part section (soprano, alto, and men) and a few brief 4-part sectIons (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The accompaniment, for piano, will be played by Patricia Henry, the church’s Music Director, while Ken Lowenberg conducts. N E W S & N O T E S P A G E 4 GUN VIOLENCE & HOUSES OF WORSHIP It’s no longer if someone we know will be directly impacted by an act of gun violence, but when. Houses of worship must prepare for the potential of violence within their walls, respond compassionately to trauma in our communities and reclaim our communities as places of safety and sanctuary for all God’s children. Pierre Thomas, chief justice correspondent for ABC News, leads a multi‐faceted discussion with survivors and supporters on Wednesday, October 23 at 7:00 PM at the Washington National Cathedral.

    Shifting Sands: The Impact of Satellite TV on Media in the Arab World A Report to the Center for International Media Assistance By Deborah Horan March 29, 2010 The Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA), a project of the National Endowment for Democracy, aims to strengthen the support, raise the visibility, and improve the effectiveness of media assistance programs by providing information, building networks, conducting research, and highlighting the indispensable role independent media play in the creation and development of sustainable democracies around the world. An im- portant aspect of CIMA’s work is to research ways to attract additional U.S. private sector interest in and support for international media development. CIMA convenes working groups, discussions, and panels on a variety of topics in the field of media development and assistance. The center also issues reports and recommendations based on working group discussions and other investigations. These reports aim to provide policymakers, as well as donors and practitioners, with ideas for bolstering the effectiveness of media assistance. Marguerite H.

Letter from the President Since its founding in 1946, the Middle East Institute (MEI) has pursued its mission to “promote knowledge of the Middle East in America and strengthen understanding of the United States by the peoples and govern- ments of the region.” The need for MEI is greater than ever. And, so is our impact. MEI strives to promote mutual respect through knowledge and under- standing. MEI’s goal is to expand the dialogue and expose Washington- based opinion leaders to authentic voices from the region itself. To accom- plish this, we brought newsmakers and prominent experts from the region and Europe. This successful formula has become the model for future MEI events.

Michelsen Institute (CMI) (Norway) in cooperation with Institute of Journalism and Communication Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences* * Center for Global Media & Communication Studies hosted the conference in association with the Kede College of Capital Normal University 10 - 11 September 2014 Beijing An analysis of China Central Television’s Talk Africa Debate Showi Bob Wekesaii Introduction The current paper seeks to undertake a comprehensive analysis of CCTV Africa’s current affairs debate show, Talk Africa, with a view to 1) a descriptive explanation of how its topics and episodes morph into themes and frames 2) its emergent patterns and trends and, 3) what we learn about the experts selected as the talk show’s guests or interviewees. In literature, the fact of Chinese mediaiii making a recalibrated comeback into Africa in the mid 2000s after a nearly four-decades of rather muted interest has been reiterated (for instance Banda 2009). Xinhua News Agency (XNA), China Radio International (CRI, initially known as Radio Peking), the People’s Daily and Beijing Review (initially known as Peking Review and today’s publisher of China Africa magazine) either had a presence in, or beamed on to the continent from the formative days of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The remaining state-run Chinese media (China Central Television – CCTV and China Daily) made their maiden forays onto the continent only at dawn of the 21st century.

  • Media Portrayal of Arabs and Arab Americans
    Kenneth Starck Perpetuating Prejudice: Media Portrayal of Arabs and Arab Americans Let me tell you ’bout A-hab The A-rab The Sheik of the burning sand He had emeralds and rubies just dripping off ’a him And a ring on every finger of his hands He wore a big ol’ turban wrapped around his head And a scimitar by his side And every evening about midnight He’d jump on his camel named Clyde...and ride by Composer Ray Stevens (see Appendix A) 1. Introduction Arabs today arguably are one of the world’s largest groups of people that have been marginalized by the rest of the world. Insofar as the United States is concerned, Arabs are “people who have lived outside of history” (Suleiman 1999a, p. 36). What is it about Arabs that over the centuries has evoked images that others perceive as negative? Or is it less about Arabs and more about others? And if the perceptions are negative, what is their origin? Or are the images more Islamic than Arabic? And if so, why the confusion? What is the role of the media in presenting information that leads to perceptions regarded as negative? Those are a few questions driving this paper. The focus is on the United States – the settling of Arab immigrants in the United States and the portrayal by US media of Arabs and Arab-American communities in the United States. In many ways, the coverage of Arabs and Arab-American communities is inseparable. The overall objective here is threefold: (1) to review from a historical perspective the nature and extent of Arab immigration to the United States, (2) to identify and analyze media research portraying Arab immigrants in the United States, and (3) to offer suggestions for improved performance.

He has founded, and is actively involved in, a number of Jordanian and international institutes, organizations and committees. He is president of the Arab Thought Forum, a former president of the Club of Rome, chairman of the Independent Bureau for Humanitarian Issues and a member of the expert group, appointed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, to implement the Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance that was made in Durban, South Africa, in 2001. A graduate of Oxford University, he holds numerous honorary doctorates in law, letters, theology, and oriental and African studies, and has received many awards, including the Abu Bakr Al-Siddique Medal of the Organization of Arab Red Crescent and Red Cross Societies. His most recently published books are To Be a Muslim (2003), Continuity, Innovation and Change: Selected Essays (2001) and In Memory of Faisal I: The Iraqi Question (2003, in Arabic). What is your assessment of the humanitarian consequences of the conflict in Iraq? A major problem is the lack of empirical data. Let’s take the battle around Fallujah. I am a member of the board of Peace Direct, which conducted the research on which the play, Fallujah, was based.1 In this play, which was performed in London, and featured Imogen Stubbs and other leading actors, over seventy violations of international humanitarian law, committed by all parties, were depicted.

Seventeen publications, including fourteen top-30-circulation newspapers and three news magazines were selected to represent American print news media. This three-part content analysis examined: 1. Sourcing: The use of sources in news stories through direct and indirect quotation. The incidence, opinion, direct quotation, and prominence of various sources were analyzed to compare the use of government and non-governmental sources in the coverage. 2. Framing: The aspects of the legislation that were highlighted by the coverage, and the aspects of the legislation that were overlooked or underplayed. The most frequently used frames of coverage were counterterrorism, government powers, civil liberties, privacy, and non-citizen issues.
