MEDIA AND PERCEPTIONS: Amin Maalouf on the Impact of Media

« I consider that all of us are close but we still do not know each other very well. In this regard, the media plays a central role in not only reflecting the public opinion but also in shaping it, helping to bridge the gap in mutual understanding.

We live in a privileged time when we can have access to everything we would wish to know, everything we would wish to learn, and yet all inventions do not come with ethical instructions for use. There is always a way of expressing oneself that does not imply hate of the other, and we need to each find out how these new powerful tools should be used.
