College station gives "average" Iraqi voices global reach

I checked out this article on a college radio station for my worth a look. The radio program called War News Radio focuses on giving Iraqi citizens a voice amidst the war. The reasoning behind the idea for this program was that it was felt that much of the media surrounding the war was from the standpoint of the US and the military, but hardly any view or opinion was heard from an Iraqi citizen.
I think this article definitely takes the bias debate to a different light. We have made the comment that many articles out there do not offer enough opinion on both sides of the story. Well, what about when this includes an entirely different side or rather different perspective of the world? We have been in Iraq for years and, sure, we’ve heard negative and positive sides about the war – but they’re all from an American perspective. What about the Iraqis whose homes are right in the midst of the fighting? Don’t their opinions count at all? Being American we already have this unconscious bias set in, but being told new stories through the eyes of a person outside the US – such as an Iraqi – would give a completely different view to an article. It would also bring an awareness to many news stories that perhaps at first we felt were unimportant but to many foreigners is a huge deal.
