• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As it seeks to win the hearts and minds of citizens in the Muslim world, the US has poured millions of dollars into local TV and radio programming, hoping to generate pro-American currents on Middle Eastern airwaves. However, as this new book shows, the Middle Eastern media producers who rely on these funds are hardly puppets on an American string, but instead contribute their own political and creative agendas.
