Middle East Broadcasting Networks

Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc. (MBN), headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, is a non-profit news organization employing 577 people and generating $32 million in revenue. MBN is responsible for operating both Alhurra Television and Radio Sawa, broadcasting platforms dedicated to providing an accurate and objective view of America to the Middle East. Alhurra and Radio Sawa offer a platform for open discourse on a wide range of topics, including American policies, American culture, and diverse perspectives on issues important to the Middle Eastern audience. The networks delve into in-depth discussions often absent from Arabic-language media, such as human rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. MBN also maintains a strong online presence through its digital properties, integrating social media content into its television and radio programming. The organization operates under a grant from the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM). MBN aims to foster understanding between America and the Middle East through its commitment to delivering accurate, impartial, and thought-provoking news and programming.
