Afghan media mogul looks ahead to 2011
All week long we’ve been talking with some of our favorite guests from the past year about their hopes and predictions for 2011. Today we have a conversation with Saad Mohseni. Saad is director of the Moby Group, the largest media organization in Afghanistan. Moby Group includes radio and television channels, as well as print and online news outlets. Mohseni is back with us today to talk about how he and his country are feeling on the dawn of a new year, and as they anticipate the beginning of U.S. military withdrawal.
