A new site from MEMRI that may open a few eyes in the West: MEMRI TV.
MEMRI’s TV monitoring center operates 16 hours per day, overseeing every major Arab channel. The center has the in-house capability to translate, subtitle and distribute the segments from Arab TV in real time to Western news channels across the world, effectively “Bridging the Language Gap Between the Middle East and the West.”
MEMRI’s TV monitoring center will focus on political, cultural, religious, and other developments and debates in the Arab and Muslim world and in Iran.
The project archive currently includes over 100 new clips from the following sources and TV guests:
