DESCRIPTION:Since October 2023, historian Assal Rad and journalist Sana Saeed have 
 closely tracked media coverage of the genocide in Gaza, highlighting how 
 much of it aligns with the Israeli narrative and distorts key facts — 
 contributing to widespread misinformation and disinformation.\n\nOur 
 speakers will present examples of headlines that obscure the facts, and we 
 will have some time to practice our media literacy skills!\n\nDr. Assal Rad 
 is a historian of the modern Middle East. She works on research and writing 
 related to U.S. foreign policy issues, the Middle East, contemporary Iran, 
 and Israel/Palestine. Her writing can be seen in Newsweek, The National 
 Interest, The Independent, Foreign Policy and more, and she has appeared as 
 a commentator on BBC World, Al Jazeera, CNN, and NPR. Assal completed a PhD 
 in History from the University of California, Irvine in 2018 and is the 
 author of The State of Resistance: Politics, Culture, and Identity in 
 Modern Iran (Cambridge University Press, 2022).\n\nSana Saeed is an 
 award-winning journalist and media critic known for her sharp analysis of 
 how media shapes public perception. She previously hosted the shows 
 Backspace and The Occupation Style Guide at AJ+ that illuminated the ways 
 mainstream news frames narratives around war, colonialism, and resistance. 
 Since October 2023, she has been at the forefront of critically exposing 
 how U.S. media propaganda is used to justify war crimes and shape public 
 discourse around the genocide in Gaza.\n\n
