Media in Times of War

Hosted by Abdulaziz Ahmed Alshehhi, this episode features renowned Emirati journalist, writer, and media expert Mohamed Al-Hammadi for an in-depth discussion on how modern conflicts are fought not only on the battlefield but also across television screens, digital platforms, and social media.

The conversation explores the evolving role of Gulf media during the recent regional conflict involving the United States, Iran, and Israel, addressing misinformation, media narratives, public awareness, digital influence, artificial intelligence, national security, and the future of journalism.

Is the media still an observer, or has it become an active participant in modern warfare? Can neutrality truly exist in today’s information landscape? How can societies build resilience against misinformation?

Tune in for an insightful conversation on the power of narratives, media ethics, and the changing dynamics of journalism in the digital age.
