This course provides a journey into the political and economic forces that shape media markets and influence public knowledge. By looking into fascinating cases from Israel, students will gain knowledge on how things work in the media and become familiar with the unique case of Israel's media market.

Dr. Anat Balint is a visiting scholar and former media correspondent of the distinguished Haaretz daily newspaper. Her long investigative work as a journalist uncovering the behind the scenes of Israeli media has turned her into a unique scholar who experienced the industry both as a participant and an observer.  

Her PhD (Goldsmiths, University of London) deals with native advertising ("branded content") and its harms to public trust in the media.
