CSIS PCR PROJECT: PUL CONNECTS AMERICANS AND AFGHANS THROUGH TELEVISION
The Post-Conflict Reconstruction Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies commended the America Abroad Media (AAM) and Tolo TV in Afghanistan for creating PUL, a weekly public interest program, recorded in the United States for broadcast throughout Afghanistan on February 5th, 2009. The intention of the show is to address a critical range of issues for Afghanistan in a way that emphasizes common interests and concerns between an online American and Afghan audience.
Question to the Blogosphere: Is it possible to generate common ground in virtual communities, such as between online American and Afghan audiences? How much of an impact will this program have–in other words, do enough people have access to television and the internet in Afghanistan to make the program effective to a large expanse of people? Why is it important to develop common ground between Afghans and Americans (security, political, economic reasons)? How do you think this program will help improve the state of the conflict in Afghanistan?
