Libyan Teen’s News Site Hears The Rebel Yell
A Libyan teen is fast becoming a media star in rebel-held Benghazi. The 14-year-old has established his own online news outlet. His father drives him to press conferences in Benghazi, and he is increasingly well-known among rebel leaders. NPR’s Lourdes Garcia-Navarro reports.
Listen to Interview here. [audio:http://feb17.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20110813_wesat_18.mp3|titles=20110813_wesat_18]
JACKI LYDEN, host: In Libya, freedom of the press and the rebel-held East has a new face, in its 14 years old. Malik Mohammed started his own Facebook-based news agency and he’s become a regular presence in press conferences in the rebel capital of Benghazi.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Perhaps it was had to do with security breach.
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO: The subject matter couldn’t have been more serious – a news conference on the mysterious murder of the army chief of staff here. The man at the podium was the rebel army spokesman. Kind of an intimidating environment.

He caught the journalism bug right after he happened to come to the main hotel where international journalists stay in Benghazi.
MALIK MOHAMMED: (Foreign language spoken)
TRANSLATOR: I came to use the internet and I was amazed by all the foreign journalists. I spoke to one TV channel and they didn’t help me out but then another Arab channel made me a trainee and that’s how I got started.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Malik’s huge white teeth split his thin brown face when he smiles – which isn’t often when he’s talking shop. He takes what he does very seriously, carrying around a backpack almost as big as he is on his thin shoulders. He’s the eldest of seven children but says he doesn’t have time to hang out with kids his own age.… Read More
