Thanks everybody for being here. [inaudible conversation] [inaudible conversation] [inaudible conversation] tonight the communicators visits middle east Broadcasting Network including other u. S. Sponsored broadcast news. We spoke with the president of the middle east broadcast network. Fran myers, producer and the digital managing editor of raise your voice about how they share Democratic Values that would not otherwise be exposed to a wider spectrum. We have been on air for 12 years and i think the audience has come to learn its not propaganda. We do try to be balanced but we also provide topics and we cover topics and information that is not really available. There arent enough people telling the stories of how difficult it is to be a woman and a girl child. How many stories have we done on child marriages. I cant count. You cant do enough because really in the middle east theyre not telling that story because its too close to home. There was a campaign we launched in september 2015
