The Palestine Media Unit of Zajel organized a workshop for the visiting professor Mazin Qumsiyeh who made a presentation on the biased American media and the efforts of the organizations that are working in the USA in order to change the image of the Palestine Question in the Americans mind. He spoke about the importance of passing the message from Palestine in its social and humanitarian sphere. A discussion followed the workshop where students and faculty members of An-Najah discussed with Prof. Qumsiyeh the current image of Palestinians in the American media and especially after the events of September eleventh 2001.

Zajel organizes such workshops in order to encourage the local students to pay more attention to the image of their struggle in the westerns minds; this it is hoped will help them to promote their struggle better and to improve their skills in addressing the American audience.
