Even though Western music and movies are a major export to the Middle East, many people there support censoring these programs if they are deemed offensive. This is one of several findings in a new study on Middle Eastern media habits by Northwestern University in Qatar. NU-Q and the Doha Film Institute compiled the data via 6,035 face-to-face interviews in Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Tunisia and Egypt. On this week’s podcast, we’ll discuss the findings of the study with special guest Everette Dennis, dean and CEO of Northwestern University in Qatar, Dean Everette Dennis. We’ll also be joined by regular guest Andrew Lih from American University, Mediatwits producer Fannie Cohen, and host Mark Glaser, executive editor of MediaShift.
