Summary

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back two outstanding guests, Stuart Davis (whom you will remember from our episode Sanctions As War (alongside Manny Ness)), and Greg Shupak (whom you will remember from our episode The History and Impact of Sanctions on Syria). Here, we discuss a topic that each of them has done a lot of work on - media narratives and hegemonic discourses. This is an incredibly important conversation, and a very interesting discussion as well. As we say in the episode, this is one that is perfect for sharing with friends and family members who may not already be highly tuned in to political affairs, but who understand that the media may be manipulating them!

Greg Shupak is a professor of English and Media Studies and is the author of the book, The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel, and the Media. You can follow him on twitter @GregShupak, and you should definitely check out the writing he does at Electronic Intifada.

Stuart Davis is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Baruch College, the City University of New York he focuses on digital media advocacy, protest politics, and digital media and public health, particularly in the Latin American context. You can find more of Stuart's work on his faculty page, or on his Google Scholar page. Additionally, pick up Sanctions As War, the outstanding book he coedited alongside Manny Ness.
