Bio

Sarah Abdurrahman is a producer at WNYC's On the Media. She is one of the founding members of Enough!Gaddafi, a loose-knit organization formed in 2009 in response to the Libyan dictator's visit to the United Nations. In February 2011, she began working with a group of Libyan activists to ensure that communication channels would be open between Libya and the rest of the world if calls for protests in the country were answered. When the protests and consequent government crackdown in Libya began in mid-February, Sarah began work on the @feb17voices twitter feed, recording first-hand accounts of eyewitnesses in Libya and publishing them for the world to hear.

Sarah has produced for WBUR, Boston's NPR station, as well as the NPR program On Point with Tom Ashbrook. She has degrees in Radio-Television-Film, Middle Eastern Studies and Media Studies from The University of Texas at Austin.
