Riad Najib Al-Rayyes's 'Journalism of Forgetting' delves into the complex relationship between media, memory, and the deliberate act of omission in news reporting. The book critically analyzes how certain events, figures, or narratives are systematically erased or downplayed by the press, shaping collective consciousness and historical understanding. Al-Rayyes explores the political, social, and economic forces that influence this 'forgetting,' providing insightful commentary on the power of media in constructing or deconstructing reality. It's a provocative read for anyone interested in media studies, political science, and the sociology of knowledge.
