Freedom of speech is a privilege that every individual should possess. Speaking your mind or giving an opinion on a matter shouldn’t have to be restricted. 

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.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
