Pintak is a professor and founding dean of the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University.
He has been called the foremost chronicler of the interaction between Arab and Western media. His books and articles focus on America’s relationship with the Muslim world, the role of the media in shaping global perceptions and government policy, and the future of journalism in a digital world.
His work has been featured in The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune and The Seattle Times, and on ForeignPolicy.com and CNN.com.
Pintak has written several books, including The New Arab Journalist (2011), Reflections in a Bloodshot Lens: America, Islam & the War of Ideas (2006), and Seeds of Hate: How America’s Flawed Middle East Policy Ignited the Jihad (2003).
