If you’re into the news and want to learn a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes of some interesting stories, then I have a show for you.

I’m not involved in any way, but my friend AV is one of the hosts taking you “On Assignment.”  She and a co-host talk to reporters, photojournalists and producers who makes these stories happen.

Here’s the first episode, which starts with the story about Iraqi women in a country in transition along with the challenges journalists face in Iraq.  Then AV interviews a correspondent who did a series on the recovery in Haiti two years after a devastating earthquake.  She also talked to a Burmese reporter who recently returned to her country for the first time since 1995.  It closes with a great story about an Iranian woman in Canada who created an innovative product that has helped Muslim women participate in sports.

Let me know what you think.  If you want to keep following the show, be sure to “like” their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter.
