Lawrence Pintak, author of the book The New Arab Journalist: Mission and Identity in a Time of Turmoil, wrote the cover story of the May/June issue of CJR, entitled "Breathing Room: Toward a new Arab Media." In this conversation with assistant editor Lauren Kirchner, Pintak talks about the origins of television news networks like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, and assesses their long-lasting impact on the popular uprisings of the region. He also discusses the shift in American public opinion of Al Jazeera English, and how the death of Osama bin Laden has been handled in the Arab media.
