Berenice Post

 After the 19th of March 'invasion', I was absolutely sick and tired of just being home all day and doing nothing basically. So, I volunteered to work at Berenice Post.

Berenice Post is an independent weekly journal printed in both Arabic and English. Berenice is an ancient Greek name that means 'bearer of victory'.

I worked there for about 3-4 months. I proof-read the English pages, made sure there weren't any errors, I interviewed people and wrote articles.

my very first article.

second article.

article about Matthew Vandyke, he was missing up till about  the liberation of Tripoli.

my article about the dictators.

reading our second issue, Walid making fun of me cause i'm annoyed
with all the errors that have been printed.

That was are office, when we first started out.
I know it's nothing, but we had to start from scratch,

I know this looks a bit odd, but our old office was in a spacious art gallery, that basically was never useful to anyone. Today it is Libya Al-Hurra's Studio.

That's Betsy Hiel, interveiwing us for Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
