We are at the forefront of the big media marathon against countries’ sanctions / Details of the media marathon against the siege and sanctions of Cuba on Hispan TV

Fars News Agency – Radio and Television Group: Most recently, a major media marathon was launched by the United States against Cuban sanctions on April 2 and 3, in which Hispan TV, a Spanish-language channel, launched a series of public diplomacy in Iran to condemn Western governments’ harsh sanctions against independent countries, including the Islamic Republic. This campaign participated. For more information about the goals and programs of this media marathon, we talked to Fahimeh Ismailpour, Production Manager and Supplier of Hispan TV.

Fahimeh Ismailpour, director of production and supply for Hispan TV, explained why the network joined the “Big Media Marathon against the Cuban Siege and Sanctions”: “Cuba is known among Latin American countries as a symbol of resistance to the economic siege and US sanctions.” And for some reason, Hispan TV participated in this media campaign. For example, Iran, like Cuba, is under US sanctions, and it is because of this resemblance that Hispan TV has been working for years to end Cuba’s economic blockade.

“Countering Cuban sanctions has been a focus of the media for the past decade, in addition to being invited to the campaign by the Europe for Cuba media institute, and we have tried,” he said, referring to the alternative of Hispan TV. Let us be part of this call for the nations under sanctions.

The director of Hispan TV emphasized: During the campaign, we tried to use the capacity of the two main programs of Hispan TV, namely “Glass of Medicine” and “In Search of Truth” to help this media marathon.

Ismailpour stated: “Detras de la Razon” program is one of the most important programs of Hispan TV, which is produced in Iran in cooperation with “News Room” and the main policy of the network is introduced through this program and It deals with regional issues, the rivalry of the great powers, sanctions against Iran and important issues. Therefore, we also examined the issue of the campaign against sanctions in this program.

He added: “The” Glass of Medicine “program (El Frasco, medios sin cura) is one of the flagship programs of Hispan TV, which is produced by a strong production team in Argentina and is a kind of political humor, and we tried to criticize the capacity of this program. Use the policy of brutal US sanctions against other countries.

The production and supply manager of Hispan TV stated: We made two teasers for this campaign with Latin American presenters, one of which referred to the time and day of the start of the campaign, which expired, and informed about this campaign, but the teaser The second is a more general look at the siege of Cuba, stating where they can pursue US brutal sanctions programs, and is complementary because it does not directly refer to the campaign and therefore will not expire. Hispan TV is broadcast. In addition to presenting Hispan TV productions related to this campaign on the network’s website, we also tried to republish it on various social networks, both personally and publicly, in order to reflect and echo the impact of our network in the form of this marathon.

We also looked at sanctions against Iran

Fahimeh Ismailpour, pointing out that the campaign was not only for Hispan TV, but also other networks such as TeleSur and Sputnik Media, Princess Latina, Al-Mayadin, etc., continued in this marathon: in addition to Iran, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, Palestine and countries subject to US sanctions were the focus of the campaign.

The director of production and supply of Hispan TV stated that one of the appreciations of Hispan TV is to see and recognize the efforts of this network: The ambassador of Cuba and some other Latin American countries thanked Hispan TV and some They wanted us to interview them about this marathon. For example, from day one, the Venezuelan media tried to join us and ask to be interviewed, and they also interviewed us about the same marathon.

He continued: “Because we are under sanctions in terms of media and economics and other dimensions, when a campaign is created in the alternative media of the world, in fact, there is an opportunity for us to echo the voice of opposition to US sanctions in other media and Increase the volume of your voice through the rest of the podiums. These campaigns will also be a wake-up call for sanctions. However, one campaign is not enough, and I think every now and then a similar campaign should be created (media marathon against sanctions against different countries).

Explaining his opinion, Ismailpour reminded: “The people of Latin America have been oppressed to such an extent that whatever is reported about it is still small, especially since we intend to be a voice for the silent.”

The main goal is to end the sanctions

“About 50 to 60 million Latin Americans live in the United States, and most of them do not have good economic conditions, and of course they are from the Hispan TV audience,” said the director of production and programming for Hispan TV. It was also strange for me to be greeted by the Spanish-speaking people inside the United States who sent us messages in various forms, including letters, and joined the campaign. Of course, such a presence also proves that joining the campaign against the sanctions of countries is not specific to a particular group.

Fahimeh Esmailpour said about the audience of Hispan TV who accompanied this media marathon: “Since the social networks belonging to Hispan TV were restricted, we can hardly have accurate statistics of the audience of the network, but because” a handful of good signs The same audience that calls us is also a sign of Hispan TV.

In response to the question whether this campaign has achieved its goal? He pointed out: “The short-term goal of this campaign was basically to coordinate the media and different people in order to end the unilateral US sanctions, which was seen as support, but the main and ultimate goal is to end these sanctions, which we must work for.”
