Barack Obama IN-DEPTH COVERAGE INAUGURATION OF THE 44TH US PRESIDENT
IN-DEPTH COVERAGE INAUGURATION OF THE 44TH US PRESIDENT ON ASTRO AWANI
Last November, Barack Obama won the right to become arguably the most powerful man in the world. On January 20, he will take the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States.
Obama’s ride to the White House has been likened to the second coming of Camelot, and indeed, he was endorsed by the family of the assassinated President John F. Kennedy during his historic campaign last year.
Despite his glorious run to Office, it remains to be seen whether Obama can effectively be the most powerful man in the world.
Can he fix the US economy and so restore the economies of the rest of the world? Will he fix Gaza and bring about a lasting peace in the Middle East?
What does Obama’s becoming the US President hold for Malaysia? What can we expect from a man whose media resume claims “straddles different worlds”?
Rozina Aziz, General Manager of Astro AWANI (Channel 501 Astro) says, “We ask this question, and more, with informed guests in our studios as we bring in-depth and hard hitting coverage of Barack Obama’s inauguration on Tuesday, January 20.”
The coverage is part of Astro AWANI’s on-going crusade to report international news from a local perspective for greater relevance to information hungry Malaysian audiences. Adds Rozina, “Whilst the inauguration of Obama is an American national event, the world will have their eyes on him. Expectations are running high, and they differ from nation to nation. Malaysia is certainly no exception.”
With the world facing its biggest challenges yet – from diminishing resources and global warming to poverty, wars and terror attacks – and looking for a leader to make meaningful changes, the heat is on for Obama to fulfil the hope he has kindled in all our hearts.
Last year, Astro AWANI provided local viewers with unrivalled coverage of all the US Presidential Election television debates, with news coverage, special reports and probing analyses presented in a locally relevant manner.
This year, Astro AWANI’s in-house US specialists Syed Farradino Omar and Rizal Zulkapli will once again return to lead a discussion on the 44th Presidentship with a panel of leading experts in the field. The special coverage on the historic event is expected to air around 11.30 pm on “Presiden AS ke 44” on Astro AWANI (Channel 501), Your Gateway to the World.
