tradition,
offering resources that "can help you, your family,
and your
community understand and cope with this national
tragedy." In
addition to analysis from Bill Moyers and ongoing
coverage of the
attacks, the site offers an incredible number or
resources, including
an in-depth look at the "faith, culture, innovations
and people of
Islam." The ongoing "America Responds" series and web
site will
continue to provide updates of the investigation into
the terrorist
attacks.

MIT's Program in Comparative Media Studies presents
this forum
"designed to spark discussions and reflections about
the media's
role in covering the events of 11 September 2001 and
their aftermath."
The project's editors have sifted through the deluge
of public
intellectual responses to the tragedy in an attempt to
highlight
several lucid perspectives. The Communications area
aggregates
international commentaries by country, Definitions
explores the
shifting valences of phrases like "crusade" and
"infinite justice,"
and Interpretations examines the way print media,
still photography,
video editing, and other media have affected the
subject matter.
You'll find a wide range of voices here, as well as
opportunities
to share your own.

100 Questions and Answers About Arab Americans

	http://www.freep.com/jobspage/arabs.htm

This thoughtful document was created in 2000 by the
Detroit Free
Press and Knight-Ridder to help journalists understand
the people
and events they cover. Balanced questions and answers
provide basic
information about the origins, language, demographics,
family,
customs, religion, and politics of the diverse
Arab-American
community in the United States. There are
approximately 3 million
Arab Americans living in all 50 states, most of whom
were born in
the U.S. They are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and
Druze, and many
describe themselves with the expression "truly Arab
and fully
American."
