EA is working with the Clinton Institute at University College Dublin in Ireland this week, introducing a Master’s course in “New Media, Social Media, and Politics”.

Students will not only be examining the significance of changes in the media for our interaction with international media; they will be developing their skills as journalists and analysts. Some of their work will appear this spring on EA Global.

Because of the intensive course, our own updates on Iran, Syria, and the wider Middle East may be limited at times this week. As always, thanks to readers for keeping us going with news and ideas.
