SETA PUBLIC LECTURE
The Middle East in the Western Media
by Roger COHEN
Date / Time: October 21, 2010 Thursday / 16.00 pm
Venue: SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, ANKARA
SETA invites you to participate in this timely public lecture by a renown
journalist and an expert on Middle Eastern issues. The Middle East is a
contested place and usually portrayed as a war-ridden region in turmoil by the
Western media. The dominant discourse on the Middle East obscures
civilizational diversity, culture of co-existence and emerging political
actors that inspire the new generations. Mr. Cohen will address challenges and
opportunities the Middle East faces as pictured in the Western media.
We very much hope you will be able to attend this special public event.
Sincerely,
SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research
