Of course after not having visited israel for ages, a day after i land for winter vacation 2008-2009 a few days shy of the new year- a new war breaks out in Gaza
when will this constant turmoil end? will there be peace not war for the future of the middle east region?
A Recent 2009 NYU Graduate with a B.S in Media, Culture, & Communication from NYU's Steinhart; fusing studies in communications, impact of technology, politics, and business alongside personal interest in social activism, I create this blog for a Wagner Course. Further compelled by personal involvement in the Palestinian and Israeli conflict i was drawn into researching refugee populations for my final Blog project in the Wagner Course: "Globalizing Social Activism and The Power of the Media." It was a perfect framework to look more closely at how technological advancements and media influence have given voice to the global refugee crisis, and what role the media plays in shaping public agenda concerning global crises. Having done former comparitive research on Western and Arab media, Middle East Conflict coverage,and theories of globalization this felt like a natural progression.
