Born 1935 (age 88–89)

Jack Shaheen is Professor Emeritus of Mass Communication at Southern Illinois University. He was also a consultant on Middle East affairs for CBS News. He studies portrayals of Arabs and Islam in American media. He mainly addresses stereotypical images of racial and ethnic groups.

He researches why such portraits persist, and suggests ways of countering such misperceptions.
