During the week of 18-24 August 2008, Al Jazeera interviewed AMW chairman Sharif Hikmat Nashashibi about the use of video cameras by ordinary citizens to film incidents in areas where the media is restricted; and Press TV interviewed AMW adviser Guy Gabriel and David Smith of the Observer about Iraq and Palestine, among other topics.
Nashashibi was invited to join distinguished journalists, diplomats and others at a seminar in London organised by the International Media Council on 11 September 2008 entitled "Integration vs Integration." Nashashibi will be part of a panel discussing "Racism, prejudice, Islamophobia: The media's coverage."
A BBC journalist requested AMW's help with her thesis on BBC Arabic TV. AMW put her in touch with adviser Dr Makram Khoury-Machool, senior media lecturer at Cambridge University, for an interview.
A programme editor for Al Jazeera English expressed an interest in meeting with AMW.
The Middle East magazine published an article by AMW adviser Dr Judith Brown about media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This was a rebuttal to an article by Adel Darwish, in which Israel's ambassador to the UK spoke of how he believes the UK media has become less objective in recent years.
AMW liaised with the Daily Telegraph, BBC, Daily Mail, Independent, Arab News Broadcasting, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Human Rights Watch, Parallax Media and the Demon, the newspaper of De Montfort University.
