>
>
>Scope:
>There have been unprecedented developments in Arab and Muslim media during
>the last ten years. The emergence of satellite TV, the internet and
>digital technology have dramatically changed the way audience receive
>information and interact with the media. The sudden success of Al-Jazeera
>channel and other Arab broadcasters have altered the way the Arab world
>narrates itself and reports news from the region to the rest of the world.
>A challenge to global media (like BBC and CNN) emerged during the invasion
>of Iraq (2003) and its aftermath in what has been known as the battle to
>win Arabs and Muslims hearts and minds.
>
>The scope of this symposium will be wide, relating to media, communication
>and culture in not only the Middle East, but the 22 countries of the
>Arab world in addition to the rest of the Muslim countries in Africa and
>Asia. In addition, research addresses diasporic and minority media like
>television, radio and the internet especially in Europe and the USA.
>
>Because of the importance of understanding existing and ongoing research
>on these topics, the Centre for arab and Muslim Media Research (CAMMRO)
>will be holding a research/doctoral forum to bring together research
>students who are studying Arab or Middle-Eastern/Muslim media of all
>types. This forum will be an international symposium for academics, Ph.D.
>candidates and Masters students to debate the growing role of media and
>communication in social change in the Muslim communities around the world.
>
>For further details, please view the attached programme or visit our
