ISHAAN THAROOR: TRUMPS IRAN WAR AND THE US MEDIA

Please register:

How are American media responding to an increasingly unpopular war with Iran? To what extent has the Trump administration succeeded in shaping the public narrative and getting its message across? And where do independent journalism, political polarization, and public opinion intersect in times of war?

Join us for a conversation with Ishaan Tharoor, global affairs journalist The New Yorker, media leader at the World Economic Forum, occasional lecturer at Georgetown University, and a widely respected commentator on international affairs. Topics discussed will be the media coverage of the Iran conflict, the administration’s communication strategy, and the broader implications for democracy, foreign policy, and America’s role in the world. The discussion will also explore how the war is affecting President Trump’s political standing and the international  perception of the United States.

The discussion will be moderated by Raimund Löw, journalist, author, and historian, head of Falter Radio.
