Required viewing
It is wonderful to see Mosaic now available as a video podcast! This program is a great example of what is good about the information age. Here we have a chance to see what the news media in the Middle East are saying on a daily basis. No privelaged point of view here. Anyone who wants to stay in touch with what people are seeing and hearing and saying in the Middle East should check this program first and frequently.
important alternate perspectives
It's really amazing and interesting to see a series of broadcasts from different nations in a region, sometimes covering the same news story. Only Mosaic shows you this. It clearly illustrates how it's all a matter of perspective and no single source of media has a monopoly on "truth".
Eye-Opening
Fascinating. This podcast is even more interesting than I expected. They do a good job of choosing stories that illuminate various facets of the news events coming out of the Middle East. Plus, they give us insight into another world--much of which isn't as different as I'd personally assumed. On occasion, the non-dubbed reports can be a bit flat (depending on the announcer) and hard to understand, but that is more than made up for by the quality of information. Much of it you have to decipher yourself, by recognizing the choice of words, choice of images, and which particular slant they've chosen. The results are insightful. Who should watch this: anyone who is interested in the Middle East, people who have no clue what is going on there, but think that it's probably important to figure out, people interested in learning about different cultures, and those of us who just realize that this is really a small planet and it's worthwhile learning about our neighbors.
