</span></font></b><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>The goal of “Assignment
America” is to provide insight into American life and culture through the
eyes of Arab students studying in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>. The show consists of
reporters’ stories and panel discussions on a wide-variety of issues.
Each reporter would be assigned a story to cover for each episode –
and then would be required to spark a discussion about the story with their
fellow reporters.<br>
<br>
Stories are wide-ranging and will cover all American life. Topics could
include: going to a baseball game at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Fenway</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType>, eating a Thanksgiving dinner
with an American family, or reporting on the differences between smoking in <st1:country-region
w:st="on">America</st1:country-region> and the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>.<br>
<br>
<span style='background:yellow'>The student reporters need not have a
background in TV or television production, but should have a good, outgoing
personality. We are looking for talkative, opinionated speakers who can
engage an audience and aren’t afraid of talking about everything from
politics and current events to music and pop culture. All candidates must
be fluent in Arabic and English.</span><br>
