The MENAVista US Press Review is a daily list of links
to articles and opinion pieces about the Middle East in the American Press, with
occasional light commentary from the analyst who chooses the articles. MENAVista's
US Press Review is not a comprehensive list of all such articles every day, but
a representative sample meant to accurately reflect the tenor and diversity of
the American press on Middle Eastern issues, with a particular emphasis on
papers with quality Middle East coverage and/or particular influence on
Washington policymakers. The sources covered are The LA Times,
The New York Times,
The Christian Science Monitor,
The Washington Post,
and
The Wall Street Journal Opinion Page.
Compiled By BYU Intern Bradford Smith.
