Media Exposure in the Middle East

Just a little bragging about what a privilege it is to work with my colleagues in the Middle East. Ghaleb Hijazi has been getting an enormous number of articles in Arab newspapers and popular news websites (and today just got placement in two Libyan publications) and Fadi Haddadin has been generating a stream of outstanding material pitched in a range from the highest academic articles by Nobel Laureates to policy op-eds and popular essays, with a lot in between. He’s currently in the Gulf and was just interviewed on CNBC Arabiya TV, thus expanding the reach of the message of liberty to the electronic media. (He’s been on other Arabic television shows, as well.) Ghaleb has also secured an agreement to launch the Mudawwanat Al Hurriyya (Blog of Liberty) to complement the Misbah Al Hurriyya (Lamp of Liberty). It will come out in cooperation with AlBawaba.com. (The designs for the layout, photos, and very modern techno-calligraphy for Mudawwanat Al Hurriyya are very, very cool.)

Our Kurdish project will be officially launched very soon and we are committed to and preparing a Persian project, as well. It’s all Go, Go, Go!
