MEMRI is launching today a new project – the Urdu and Pashtu Media Blog. The project will include translations and analysis from Urdu and Pashtu media. This project comes as a timely addition to the monitoring, translation, and analysis of media in Arabic, Farsi, and Turkish that MEMRI has conducted for the past decade. MEMRI will be taking its media coverage to the heart of one of the focal regions of Islamism and jihad and will be reporting directly from the world's fault line: the Pakistan-Afghanistan region.
The MEMRI Urdu/Pashtu media blog will also fill yet another void by monitoring media outlets in Urdu that are published in the West, particularly in the U.K. Indeed, some of the papers published in Pakistan have a similar edition in the U.K. (just as many parties and political forces in Pakistan have affiliated political groups in the U.K. and in the West in general).
The content of this site is also available by RSS feed, allowing you to easily stay up to date on MEMRI Urdu/Pashtu Blog material.
Please note that in addition to the new MEMRI Urdu/Pashtu Media Blog, we are continuing our Special Dispatches and Inquiry and Analysis series covering Urdu/Pashtu media.
