I learned about her mainly from films, at the time when I was discovering the richness of Google videos. By films I mean mainly the film "Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict" as well as "Hanan Ashrawi: Concept, Context and Process in Peacemaking: The Palestinian-Israeli Experience 11/4/04".
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land is a 2004 documentary which purports to show the influence of Israeli propaganda on American media coverage of the Israel/Palestine dispute. The film was directed by Sut Jhally and Bathsheba Ratzkoff, and features, among others, Noam Chomsky, Robert Jensen, Hanan Ashrawi, and Robert Fisk. (This info from en.wikipedia)
