Chicago radio’s new hire

Solomonia highlights the hiring of Mariam Sobh by Chicago Public Radio, an affiliate of NPR. While a journalism student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Sobh rehashed fabricated quotes, accused Israel of genocide, and claimed that Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty was deliberate. Sobh’s responsibilities at WBEZ include writing newscasts, producing feature segments, interviewing, and researching story ideas.
