From a Georgetown job posting:

The Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of State would like one or two native and/or learned Arabic speakers to listen to CD's of a local radio news organization, which broadcasts in the Middle East. The broadcasts are in classical Arabic and should contain content to assist in fostering positive U.S. sentiment in the region. It would also be helpful if the Arabic speaker(s) is (are) familiar with or can speak another Arabic dialect and/or understand a local colloquial Arabic.

The listeners would be required to give an objective assessment on what they hear and comment on news content and music format. They would also be required to offer a general opinion on overall comprehension and how the newscasts could be viewed culturally in the Middle East.

Unfortunately, the project is unpaid, but the individual (s) would receive continental breakfast and lunch. The analysis is scheduled for February 25, 2004 from 8am to 4pm at the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Va. Transportation would provided to and from the site.

All who are interested should contact [removed] at [removed] or email - [removed]. All email inquiries should attach their CV or resume.

Thank you.
