Afghanistan is a war-torn country which had little to no media influence during the reign of the Taliban and even during the conquer of the Soviet Union in 1979.
Many individuals had been fighting poverty or even fighting to survive another day with the harsh conditions of unpredictability of not knowing what happens next.
In 2002, Saad Mohseni an Afghan-Australian, found Moby Group. Moby group is a multi-media platform which powers Afghanistan’s media from news broadcasting, television entertainment, social media and even political influence. The television channel is called Tolo Tv.
Moby group today is the biggest media group in Afghanistan now, spanning across the middle east, Asia and Africa.
Moby group has changed the nature of journalism across the country with its modern technology and day to day broadcasting to ensure news is delivered to every individual tuning in. This had previously been an abstract idea for the community and a luxury as it did not seem a reality for it to ever happen especially with the war occurring throughout the country.
A soccer field which used to be an execution camp for the Taliban has now transformed into a soccer field in which an Afghan soccer league is being played at with the Moby group partnering with them to broadcast and power the league. It can be seen on Tolo Tv.
The nature of journalism has changed drastically in Afghanistan thanks to Moby Group which connects every Afghan worldwide since being disconnected from their country after fleeing from the war. This is a right step towards empowering younger people in a brighter future and escaping the harsh realities that occur daily in Afghanistan.
