More than half of the American public believes that the media can be an effective platform to present a true image of the Arab world, an Arab News/YouGov poll has found.
The “The Arab Image in the US” poll of 2,057 people living in the US, carried out from March 17 to 21, found a widespread lack of public knowledge about the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
But 52 percent of the respondents said that the media could help depict the true image of the Arab world. The poll found that 78 percent of Americans follow international news. But of those, only 24 percent follow news about the Arab world.
Non-followers of news about the Arab world blame it on the negative context of news. The stated belief that “there is a lot of negative news coming out of this region” was found to be significantly higher among Republican voters compared to Democrat voters, the poll found.
