PANEL TO INTRODUCE NEW PERSPECTIVES

ARAB PALESTINIAN MEDIA RIGHTS IN ISRAEL;

HISTORICAL, INSITUTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL INSIGHTS

 

Date: 17, November 2005

Time: 11:00 - 13:00

Room: La Goulette, at Parc des Expositions du Kram (Pal Expo du Kram), Tunis


 

In terms of its policies and presence in the international arena, Israel is
a country about which much tends to be written and known. Little, however,
is known about the national, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity of
its citizenry. For the first time, an Arab Palestinian NGO will present
detailed information on the media situation in Israel, as it pertains to
Palestinian citizens. Through this panel, we aim to underline the necessity
of access to the media, fair and unbiased representation in the media of the
indigenous Palestinian minority, as well as the importance of a genuine
commitment to the principles outlined in Article 19, as crucial elements in
achieving equity for the Palestinian society in Israel. 

Presentations in the panel will be delivered by:

Dr. Mustafa Kabaha*, on "The Role of the Palestinian-Arab Press in Shaping
Public Opinion among the Palestinian Arab Society in Israel: 1948 -2005"


Dr. Kabaha's presentation will focus on the shaping of public opinion among
the Palestinian society in Israel, since the establishment of the state of
Israel in 1948 to the present day .The discussion will deal with the
mechanisms of journalistic work in the Arabic-language media, in the context
of the Palestinian minority and its relationship to the Jewish majority and
the Israeli Government.  

 

Dr. Amal Jamal*, on "Coverage of Palestinians in the Hebrew Media" and
"Media Consumption Patters among Palestinians in Israel Today" 

Dr. Jamal's presentation explores the influence of mass media on processes
of identity construction for individuals and groups by examining patterns of
media consumption among the Palestinian society in Israel today, alongside
the way in which this minority is portrayed in the Israeli Hebrew media. 

 

Ms. Nahed Dirbas* on "Challenges of Arab Journalists in Israel" and "Images
of Women in the Media"

In the first of a two-part presentation, Ms. Dirbas will present the
challenges faced by Palestinian journalists in their dealings with the
Israeli authorities, and the double standards applied to the Arabic and the
Hebrew media in Israel. The second part of the lecture will focus images of
women in the media, covering gender representations in both the Arabic and
Hebrew media in Israel.

 

I am looking forward to seeing you there!

 

Best,

Heidi Paredes
