Please join MEF for a webinar with Alberto Fernandez, today at 1pm EDT!
The Middle East Forum cordially invites you to a webinar:
"The Middle East's Media Wars"
with Alberto Fernandez
From providing Hezbollah with a platform to fueling the growth of al-Qaeda and ISIS, Middle Eastern news media has spread the message of jihadis since 9/11. The U.S. government pushed back in 2004 with the Alhurra network. Alberto Fernandez, the recent head of Alhurra’s holding company, witnessed first hand the great media battles. Have moderates begun winning the battle? What can Americans do to help?
