Short Biography
Lawrence Pintak, PhD is director of the Kamal Adham Center for Journalism Training and Research at The American University in Cairo and publisher/co-editor of Arab Media & Society (www.arabmediasociety.org), and publisher of www.mogtamana.org, a news and information portal for Egyptian civil society and www.arabnewsroom.com, a resource site for Arab journalists.
His latest book is Reflections in a Bloodshot Lens: America, Islam & the War of Ideas (2006), which Middle East Journal called “an example of the best of contemporary journalism.”
A veteran of 30 years in journalism on four continents, Pintak has contributed to many of the world’s leading news organizations. As CBS News Middle East correspondent in the 1980s, he covered the Iran-Iraq War, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the rise of Hezbollah and the birth of suicide bombing – including the 2003 U.S. Marine barracks bombing. In the 1990s, he reported on the overthrow of Indonesian President Suharto for The San Francisco Chronicle and ABC News.
He is at work on a book for I.B. Tauris on the changing face of Arab journalism, which will be published in early 2010. Earlier books include Seeds of Hate: How America’s flawed Middle East policy ignited the jihad (2003) and Beirut Outtakes: A TV Correspondent’s Portrait of America’s Encounter with Terror (1988). Pintak holds a PhD in Islamic Studies.
