Framing Israel, Framing Jews: Examining the Effects of UK Media Coverage of Israel on European Antisemitism

Sunday, March 1, 2015 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (IST)
Agron Guest House
Agron 6, ירושלים, Israel

Recent polling indicates that over 80 percent of British Jews believe that biased coverage of Israel incites antisemitism. Is UK media coverage of Israel influencing attitudes towards Jews in Europe and fueling extremism? What should major news outlets like the BBC and The Guardian do to avoid sensational and inaccurate reports?

Join us for a discussion of these questions with a focus on how we can promote responsible media coverage.

Interactive Panel Discussion with:
Professor Robert S. Wistrich – Head of the Vidal Sasson International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Lucille Cohen former President of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region
Adam Levick Managing Editor, UK Media Watch (formerly CiF Watch)
