• Resumen

  • Su talks about Syrians Among Us, a radio news program and online bulletin produced by Syrian refugees. The program began as pilot project in Oct 2012 by the Community Media Network (CMN), a Jordanian nonprofit that supports independent media in the Arab world. The program is the brainchild of CMN director general Daoud Kuttab, a Palestinian-American journalist and media activist who has been working to expand press freedom in the Middle East for more than a decade. The six-month Syrians Among Us pilot project trained refugees to cover their own communities and use journalism to improve refugees' day-to-day lives.
