(Of the enormous number of books published on the Arab-Isr...)
Of the enormous number of books published on the Arab-Israeli conflict, most focus on its history or the political dimensions of the current peace process. None, however, has provided an in-depth look at the relationship between those who shape the events and the Western journalists who cover them. In this bold new study, Mohammed A. el-Nawawy explores the ways in which government officials try to manipulate the news media, how the reporters contend with such interference, the professional and newsmaking roles of the journalists, and how their demographic and educational backgrounds influence their coverage of this crucial time and place.

Al-Jazeera, the independent, all-Arab television news network based in Qatar, emerged as ambassador to the Arab world in the events following September 11, 2001. Arabic for "the peninsula," Al-Jazeera has "scooped" the western media conglomerates many times. With its exclusive access to Osama Bin Laden and members of the Taliban, its reputation has been burnishing quickly through its exposure on CNN, even as it strives to maintain its independence as an international free press news network. Al-Jazeera sheds light on the background of the network: how it operates, the programs it broadcasts, its effects on Arab viewers, the reactions of the West and Arab states, the implications for the future of news broadcasting in the Middle East, and its struggle for a free press and public opinion in the Arab world.

(The Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt in 192...)
The Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt in 1926, has been at the forefront of the resurgence of political Islam in the Middle East. It has also endeavored to reach out beyond Egypt and the Middle East, to an international audience, increasing its media campaign in English. This outreach is the focus of the book, which delves into the media strategies and ventures of the Muslim Brotherhood by studying how it has used its official English website to frame its political ideologies and its role in the 2011 Egyptian uprising.

El-Nawawy was born on December 25, 1968, in Alexandria, Egypt, the son of Ahmed El-Nawawy, a personnel manager, and Um Kolthoum Hussein, a banker.
El-Nawawy received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from The American University in Cairo, in 1991, and then a Master of Arts in Journalism & Mass Communications in 1996. He went on to Southern Illinois University, receiving a Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism in 1999.
Dr. Mohammed el-Nawawy teaches international communication, mass communication, media globalization, and Middle East media courses. He is the founding and senior editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Middle East Media and serves on the editorial boards of Media, War and Conflict journal, Journalism Education journal, and Global Media Journal. He is also the former president of the Arab-United States Association for Communication Educators. Dr. el-Nawawy has professional journalistic experience in the United States and the Middle East. This experience included working for renowned media outlets such as the Associated Press and The Baltimore Sun.
From 1993 to 1995 el-Nawawy worked as Graduate Teaching Assistant at the Department of Mass Communications at The American University in Cairo, Egypt. He then went on to work as a Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant at the School of Journalism of Southern Illinois University from 1996 until 1998. From 1999 to 2002 he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication Arts at the University of West Florida. El-Nawawy was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication at Stonehill College from 2002-2004. He also was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication at Georgia State University from 2004 to 2006. Since 2006 he has been working as Knight-Crane Endowed Chair and an Associate Professor at Knight School of Communication at Queens University of Charlotte.
He looks at the leading Arab satellite television network in his book Al-Jazeera: How the Free Arab News Network Scooped the World and Changed the Middle East, written with Adel Iskandar. Al-Jazeera is the only twenty-four-hour television news network in the Middle East and enjoys an audience of some thirty-five million people. Its favorable coverage of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein has angered those in the West, but Arab viewers tend to see al-Jazeera as refreshingly outspoken compared to the controlled media found in most Arab countries.
Founded in 1996 with a $140 million grant from the emir of Qatar, al-Jazeera was a direct response to the surprising popularity among Arab viewers of the American satellite network CNN during the Gulf War. While taking its cue from some of CNN's programming, including a spin-off of the popular Crossfire series, al-Jazeera has also, el-Nawawy and Iskandar argue, served as a "platform for dissent" in the Middle East, according to a reviewer for the Economist. Such dissent has earned al-Jazeera criticism from some Arab governments.
In his book The Israeli-Egyptian Peace Process in the Reporting of Western Journalists, el-Nawawy examines the techniques used by Western journalists stationed in the Middle East in reporting the ongoing quest for peace in that region. Based on interviews with 168 Western correspondents in Israel and Egypt, the book finds that Western correspondents tend to have an Israeli bias in their reporting. El-Nawawy explains this as a consequence of the Israeli government's sophisticated public-relations machine, which works to earn the U.S. media's favor, as well as of the Egyptian government's natural suspicion of journalists and reluctance to speak with them.

2018El-Nawawy told once: "My interest in writing stems from my desire to share my ideas with the readers, especially in the area of media and politics in the Middle East. As someone with expertise in the Arab media, I feel it is my responsibility to familiarize the American readers with the intricacies of the print and broadcast media in the Arab world and to explain to them the Arab world and to explain to them the Arab media scene through Arab eyes. I hope that my writings would contribute to bridging the gap between the United States and the Arab world."
El-Nawawy married Rasha el-Gendi in December 2000.
