Journalist extraordinaire MARVIN KALB will serve as scholar-in-residence for The Media Line’s tour of Israel and the Palestinian areas set for August 31-October 11. The theme of the visit to the region is the “view through journalists’ eyes” and will feature extensive touring along with meeting with Palestinian and Israeli officials, experts, pundits and the newsmen and women with whose by-lines consumers of news are familiar. Overnights include Jerusalem and Ramallah. Due to the extraordinary nature of the tour, space is strictly limited and will not be expanded. Bookings are being taken by Anderson Travel of Palm Springs, California, which can be reached at 877-237-9026, or email The Media Line at editor@themedialine.org [1].
