In the trailer/debut episode of Arabs in Media, Hazem Jamal explores the view of Arabs in news, entertainment, social media, and life in the West.

In the wake of The New York Times' contentious editorial decisions surrounding Israel-Palestine coverage and the persistent stereotyping in Hollywood, we dissect how these portrayals shape public perception and the real-world consequences that follow.

Through a tapestry of personal accounts, including the heartache Hazem's family endured during the Iraq wars, we bring to light the struggle for an authentic representation of Arabs in Western media. And we'll have some good news stories of Arabs you might know, or not know who represent great achievements in our world.

Host Hazem Jamal gives us a peek at the topics ahead in this debut episode, also available on the Substack community @arabsinmedia
