Tell people what you want them to believe. That's easy. What's difficult is to change the way people think."See a cow, say a cow."  If you have no clue what those words mean, then chances are that you weren't at Illume 's first in a series of events on multimedia journalism. These were words of wisdom, conveyed by Illume's resident broadcast journalist, Anser Hassan, to participants at Illume's event on the weekend of April 16 -- Digital Journalism in the Age of Multimedia Story Telling.

 With more than 340 million speakers, Arabic is one of the world's major languages - the fifth most widely spoken by some counts.
Yet, today Global Post asks if, in fact, Arabic is a dying language. Native Arabic speakers constitute about 3% of all internet users, according to World Bank figures. And yet, less than 1% of the contents of the internet are in Arabic. Make no mistake, though, Arabic and the Arab world are only becoming more important online. The Middle East and North Africa have seen the fastest growth of internet users the world over - a 900% increase in the past seven years - and more is being predicted. But even if a breadth and depth of opinion, analysis and comment is developing on the Arabic web, it's all lost on the English speaking world. Into this gap enters Meedan. |

Come join us at the 46th annual ISNA convention this year in Washington, DC.
Our panel Muslim Journalists: The View from the Inside runs from 10-11:15am on Saturday, July 4 - Session 5J in room 154AB.
Topic:
As Muslims in America are more heavily scrutinized on the political, social and religious landscape, their coverage in the media becomes crucial to survival and growth for the community. Especially in our post-September 11th reality, Muslims should have an inside view of how the mainstream media operates. This panel of professionals in television, newspaper or magazine and radio journalism will be relevant to Muslim journalists, students who are interested in journalism, community organizers and leaders and anyone who uses the mainstream media on a daily basis.
Speakers: Asma Khalid, Wajahat Ali, Aman Ali Moderator: Mariam Jukaku |
