In advance of U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to Egypt June 4, I talk with Egyptians about the president’s first major address from the most populous state in the Arab world and his first from Africa.

Hayam, a photographer for the Middle East News Agency talks about the impact of multimedia training for Egyptian journalists.
Cairo: This week I am producing a new documentary film about the Egypt Media Development Program (A USAID funded initiative) with budding MDP filmmakers Ahmed and Amr. These guys are great. Ahmed and I have made two Arabic-language film documentaries in the last year and we have time to make this new one really high quality.
In the first week we have made a half dozen interviews with journalists that MDP has trained and we filmed on locations all around Cairo. We have visited the offices of the news training centers for journalists the program has established at MENA, Al Ahram Al Akbar, Cairo University and other news organizations. We have done interviews in the streets and at sunrise this morning we filmed some new footage from the Pyramids. We were buzzed by huge military aircraft flying at low altitude. Have to wait for the film to be ingested to see how it came out but here re a few snaps from my trusty LX-2 which has joined me on my adventures the last four years.

Robb’s flight plans for fall 2008
I will be in Las Vegas next week directing a team of student journalists who will be filing multimedia reports from the APME SND congress.
September and October will have my world in constant motion. These are the next scheduled seminars on my calendar.
My family and friends have asked me to tell them my impressions from the last 30 days spent training journalists overseas. I was out of country for the entire month of February with stops in Germany, Denmark, Italy, Croatia, and Egypt. I could start this start this story by deglamorizing it and recalling that the last time I saw my luggage was when I boarded this wee Alitalia turboprop at seven a.m. for a flight from Zagreb to Milan.
Flying over the Adriatic Sea
Perhaps it was while we were buzzing low over the Adriatic, the airline decided I would be be better off wearing the same clothes for four days in Italy. In the end, it took 13 days and dozens of calls (And lost time) to have my bag shipped home to Chicago. Every call to Alitalia led to a new promise of delivery and so I kept waiting. They lied - every time. That’s another blog item for another day.
