Is ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Arabic Radio too Focussed on Egypt?
The editor of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Arabic Radio responds to a listeners’ claim that the service is not fairly representing the whole of the Arab world.
³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Arabic Radio is the oldest and largest of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s non-English services. It has been running since 1938 and is broadcast to millions of people across the Arab world. However, one avid listener from Bahrain is claiming that the service is Egypt-centric. Listener, Sami Gazwhan puts these claims to editor Adel Soliman, who outlines the aims of the service and how it will evolve.
Also, news programme World Update had the chance to correct a mix-up of dates around the death of black rights activist, Malcolm-X as one sharp-eared listener got in touch to point it out.
