The Making of Arab News

Noha Mellor’s The Making of Arab News is a welcome addition to the scholarship in that it widens the scope of the discussion by looking at the linguistic and cutural parameters under which Arab news media operate. ― European Journal Of Communication

An indispensable resource for working journalists and scholars seeking to understand the Arab journalism world. Mellor’s book traces the origin of journalistic practices and gives pause to those who thought they already knew everything they needed to know about Arab journalism. The author questions existing Western theories and concepts of the Arab press and provides readers with an invaluable alternative to currently accepted ideas of why Arab journalists do what they do. This is a highly readable book that deserves a place in any serious scholarly discussion of current and future Arab journalism. — Dr. Ralph D. Berenger ― Journal Of Transnational Broadcasting Studies
