Rozen and Slavin will discuss the evolution of journalism in the digital age toward more specialized websites that cater to specific audiences.

Al-Monitor (www.al-monitor.com) is a new media organization that seeks to introduce a global audience to the Middle East in its own words. Founded in the wake of the Arab Spring, Al-Monitor selects and translates articles from the diverse and independent Arabic, French, Hebrew and Turkish media in the Middle East and builds on that dialogue with insightful, original commentary and web video.
ISH’s educational outreach programs
are made possible, in part,
by a generous grant from Al-Monitor.
