EWC seminar tackles language for dealing with Middle East

May 10th, 2007 · No Comments · Media

I turned to a report in Minda News, the web site of the Mindanao News and Information Cooperative Center, for a description of an East-West Center seminar for journalists.

Terms like ‘Islamist’, ‘jihadist’, talib, Muslims, and other words, which describe the Islamic faith are, most of the times, “abused and misused” by Western media, a journalist from Pakistan said during a discussion at the Senior Journalists’ Seminar of the East-West Center in this city.
