During the week of 15-21 February 2010, Arab Media Watch issued a press release to the media pointing out offensive terms when using the word 'Arab' in Google's search engine. BBC Arabic reported the findings, the Global Arab Network published the press release, and AMW accepted a request by Forbes magazine for a commentary on the issue. "This looks good," wrote the London bureau chief in an email. The Media Line requested an interview with AMW about the press release.
The Guardian published a letter by AMW adviser Chris Doyle on Tony Blair's Middle East role; Middle East International published an analysis of US-Syrian relations by AMW adviser Rime Allaf; the Sociel Science Research Council published a review by AMW adviser Guy Gabriel of the book "Saving Darfur: Everyone's Favourite African War"; Gabriel wrote to the Daily Express in response to a commentary on Iraq by Frederick Forsyth.
The Daily Mail requested AMW's help with info regarding the reported arrest of a Saudi prince in a London hotel; and AMW helped the Arab League with suggestions for media invitees for its annual reception.
AMW informed the media of its forthcoming launch of the book "Dreaming of Baghdad," by AMW adviser Haifa Zangana.
AMW helped Press TV arrange an Arab interviewee on the proposed US missile shield in the Gulf. AMW chairman Sharif Hikmat Nashashibi was interviewed about Israel’s assassination of a Hamas figure in Dubai, for an article to be published in Haaretz. He was interviewed by students from Goldsmiths University for a video-project on media coverage of Palestine. Nashashibi was also interviewed by a student from the Kings College War Studies Department on media coverage of Palestine. A third interview with him was about media coverage of Arabs.
The Second Secretary at the Egyptian Embassy, having attended a "Middle East Question Time" panel which included Nashashibi (organised by the Conservative Middle East Council), emailed him to say: "It was a real pleasure meeting you and seeing you in action."
AMW liaised with the Daily Telegraph, Reuters, GAN, Arab News Broadcasting, the Cambridge Arab Media Project, Palestine Telegraph, Al Hiwar, Aaram News, Al Arab, Arab News, Al Marsad News, Pluto Books, the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and the Moroccan, Palestinian, Saudi and Syrian embassies.
