Show notes
I’m excited to share a special episode from the podcast, Gems of Arabia about Arab Representation in Media. The episode, hosted by WIDN alum Hatem Al Akeel, was recorded a few weeks ago at the CNN Academy in Abu Dhabi in front of a live audience of the Academy’s latest cohort of budding journalists.
We were joined by another WIDN alum Becky Anderson, Managing Editor of CNN Abu Dhabi, and Arab News’ Editor-in-Chief Faisal Abbas.
This was a great conversation about breaking stereotypes, how Arab voices are represented, and the importance of re-shaping and owning our narrative on the world stage. I hope you find the conversation as insightful as I did.
You can also watch the episode on YouTube:
Next week, I’ll be back with a new Encore episode with the show’s first guest, Ahmed Alfi. I caught up with him about the evolution of his work and life in the four years since that first conversation.
