I never thought of writing my first blog about David Barsamian. He is someone I never knew before my first journalism class. Since I am bound to write about him therefore, I have to start.
David Barsamian is an Armenian-American radio broadcaster, writer, founder and director of Alternative Radio. His interviews and writings are often published in “the progressive”, “the nation” and “Z magazine”. He got a chance to write a series of interviews with a cognitive scientist, a linguist and a well known personality Noam Chomsky. He has written several joint books such as Targeting Iran, Confronting Empire with Eqbal Ahmad and Speaking of Empire & Resistance with Tariq Ali. Barsamian has been to Pakistan several times this year, and has broadcast a series of programs on Pakistan and Afghanistan. He presents information and perspectives that are controlled by the media and are not discussed openly on platforms. He is a man of courage who is not afraid of making people, media and other sources against him.
His area of interest is giving lectures on U.S. foreign policy, media, propaganda, and corporate power in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, India and Europe. Recently, the prominent political analyst spoke about US foreign policy in the age of Obama and about the collapse of US Empire’s hegemony, the military complex and on the hope for transformation in the United States with the Obama reign. He also took interview from Arundhati Roy about India and Kashmir issues.
To conclude, with his studies he seems to be an unbiased man who has dedicated his life to dig the truth and bring it to the masses.
