Media and the Middle East: Going Beyond the Headlines

Posted on April 2nd, 2007 by mohamed and tagged , .

That's the tagline of the 3rd Annual AlJazeera Forum this year. You'll find indepth coverage over on Ethan Zuckermans blog (he does this cool thing where he live blogs everything - including the panel he is speaking on), AlJazeera Talk, the News Dissector (the blog of journalist, filmmaker, activist andf friend Danny Schecter) and the Forum blog.

While there are lots of interesting folks around, I'm really looking forward to tomorrows keynote by Lawrence Lessig. It's great that he is going to be here - I seeded the idea of having him speak at the Forum a while ago and Nasser Khan helped convinced the conveners of why getting Lessig was a great idea.

More tomorrow...
