Special Announcements No. 22
MEMRI's latest initiative – the Arab TV Monitor Project – has been launched. Translated segments from Arab TV channels are available through a dedicated website. Media broadcast quality versions will be made available to the media in addition to regular streaming video version for ordinary viewing.

Special distribution to the media and others will be made available. Details will follow in an accompanying subscription form.
