Iraq Calling

August 06, 2004

The number one media outlet in Iraq right now is the independent talk radio station, Radio Dijla. The winning formula is a combination of free-wheeling conversation, news they can use, and attention to the real priorities of the real people. The station's founder and director, Ahmad al-Rikaby, joins Brooke and describes how free expression sounds on Iraqi airwaves and how community is formed, even when it is too dangerous to leave the house.
