Swarthmore Students Launch
Radio Program on Iraq War

Disgusted with MSM


On the snowy weekend of Jan. 21-23, a dozen Swarthmore students worked under the tutelage of four professional broadcast journalists to produce a pilot radio program on the war in Iraq. Energized by the experience and the results, the students, with the support of the Swarthmore administration, are launching "War News Radio," a daily, student-produced radio program.

The Swarthmore students hope to provide the public with a valuable source of news and perspective on the on-going conflict in Iraq. The summary will be broadcast over the Internet.

"We see this program as a good way for us to have an impact on the debate over the war and provide listeners with some of what's missing from the mainstream media coverage of Iraq," said Eva Barboni, a junior from Pittsburgh, who is working on the project. "We intend to provide more context, and through interviews with everyday citizens there, more Iraqi perspective on the war."

The pilot broadcast, for example, features an interview with a young Iraqi who works as a clerk at a Baghdad hotel hosting many international journalists.
