$3.99

TMR Issue 44 – 11 articles –  123 pages

Gatekeepers are those who stand at the gates of publishing, the mainstream media, or at the entrance to government institutions; they are the people who control, mediatize and often oppose or deny the work or words of others. In this issue, we ask who in fact controls the flow of information — what news, which facts, whose ideas get seen and discussed? Who gets published, who gets reviewed? Who are today’s gatekeepers? With new work by Ammiel Alcalay, Maha Al Aswad, Nektaria Anastasiadou, Elias Feroz, Joumana Haddad, Stephen Rohde and Omar Zahzah, with fiction by Farah Ahamed & Ali Ramthan Hussein.
