Hanania, an award-winning veteran American Arab journalist and Arab News Newspaper U.S. Special Correspondent, will lead discussions every Wednesday through the November 3 US Elections with guests from across the country and the political divide, analyzing news, trends and the role of Arab and Muslim Americans in the election process.
“This is a pioneering effort by the Arab News Newspaper to engage Arab Americans and the American public in English in a discussion about the election from the presidential race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden to local congressional battles and contests in states across the country,” Hanania said.
“There is no other radio program in America that focuses on the interests better than US Arab Radio and the special election coverage section provided by the English-language Arab News Newspaper.”
Laila Alhusini, the director of US Arab Radio Network, said that Ray Hanania’s Special Election Coverage is an important resource for Arab Americans and Muslims.
“The elections are so important to the Arab community and to have a veteran Palestinian Arab American journalist like Ray Hanania helping us understand the issues is an asset to the community,” said Alhusini, who has been broadcasting her morning show on WNZK AM 690 Monday through Friday since 2005.
“Having a community discussion about the issues is the most effective way to engage and empower Arab Americans. This program will do that.”
WNZK AM 690 is the only American radio station that broadcasts Arab American programming addressing Arab American issues on a daily and weekly basis.
