The strength of Radio Damascus lies in it's editorial working... reporting about Syria, the Middle East and Arab culture "FROM" Syria. Offering the
 Syrian view as a counterweight for the often biased views from other media.

Syria is a wonderful country with wonderful people. Unfortunately, people who have never visited Syria do sometimes get wrong ideas by watching and 
listening to their local media. Radio Damascus is trying to get the right message to the world and is doing this in a most varied and interesting way.

The Radio Damascus staff does highly value when you write to them with your commentaries about the programs or reception reports about the transmissions 
and you will get in return a nice postcard to confirm the reception (QSL-card) and a program schedule.
