Conclusion
“Media and Politics in Kurdistan: How Politics and Media Are Locked in an Embrace is the first extensive and fascinating study on the corporation of the journalists and the relationship between media, political parties, finance, and intellectual microcosm in Iraqi Kurdistan, ‘a state-in-building.’”

“Situated at the nexus between media and politics, Mohammaedali Yaseen Taha's book Media and Politics in Kurdistan: How Politics and Media are Locked in an Embrace is a significant contribution toward understanding the dynamics of the media system and the relationship between the media and politics in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. To my knowledge, this empirically-rich book is the first comprehensive work is ever written on this matter. An important and timely contribution, especially for those interested in Kurdish politics.”
