Many protestors carried Palestinian flags at the rally.

It’s been three months since Israel's attack on Gaza. More than 23,000 Palestinian people have been killed.

In the United States, some people have direct ties through family, ancestry, and culture to this siege. But it's a different mode of existence to see this level of violence interpreted and reinterpreted through media.

On this episode, we spoke with two professors about media, representation, and how what we see, read, and listen to affects our perception of the world.

GUESTS ON TODAY'S EPISODE:

  • Dr. Muniba Saleem, associate professor in the Department of Communication at UC Santa Barbara
  • Dr. Nour Kteily, professor of management & organizations
    Northwestern University
