Special Announcements No. 23

Dear MEMRI Subscriber,

For over six years, The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has relied upon the generosity of donors, including our subscribers.

HELP MEMRI'S SERVICES CONTINUE FREE OF CHARGE

As readers of MEMRI, you are familiar with our ongoing efforts to monitor more countries, research more subjects, translate into more Western languages, and provide television translations online as streaming video. The production and distribution of our materials, as well as the maintenance and development of our website, requires substantial resources.

EXPANDING MEMRI’S RESEARCH: THE MEMRI TV PROJECT

MEMRI recently launched its newest initiative, The MEMRI TV Project (www.memritv.org). The project is housed at a state of the art studio which operates 16 hours a day, monitoring every major Arab and Iranian TV channel. The center has in-house capability to translate, subtitle, and distribute the material in real time to Western news channels across the world, effectively ‘Bridging the Language Gap Between the Middle East and the West.’ There are already over 145 segments in the project’s archives, and new ones are added regularly.

PROJECTS NEEDING FUNDING

We request that as a valued reader, you please consider sending a financial contribution to help MEMRI reach its financial goals for this fiscal year. Your donation will allow us to continue providing our services free of charge. Several of our projects currently need support:

- Jihad and Terrorism Studies Project: www.memri.org/jihad.html

- Reform Project: www.memri.org/reform.html

- Arab Antisemitism Documentation Project: www.memri.org/antisemitism.html

- MEMRI News Ticker, which brings you the latest news from the Middle East days

before it is reported anywhere else.
