Rima Iraqi: – Changes jobs

Dagsrevyens Rima Iraki (38) will be the new host of NRK’s ​​foreign magazine Urix, NRK writes in a press release.

Gry Blekastad Almås has led the program for seven years, but will be from the autumn NRK’s ​​new correspondent in London.

To NRK, Iraki describes Urix as an institution and a brand with long traditions.

– At the same time, it is a program that has managed to renew itself, be innovative and adapt to the new media reality. We will continue to do this to reach even more people with our fantastic content, says Iraqi.

– My heart is close

Iraq has two bachelor’s degrees; one in journalism and one in international relations from the University of Queensland in Australia. Now she is looking forward to immersing herself in foreign material, writes NRK.

– Foreign has always been close to my heart. And I’m really looking forward to working more closely with the talented colleagues in the Foreign Service. There you will find some of the heaviest expertise in this field in Norway, she says to NRK.

Led Eid celebration

Iraq has recently been relevant as host of “The Party after Lent”, NRK’s ​​program about the Eid celebration. The program won the Innovation of the Year award during this year’s Gullruten.

Last year, the Norwegian Broadcasting Council received 430 complaints related to the program. In addition, they received 172 positive inquiries. The program has also led to emissions from FRP leader Sylvi Listhaug.

“Obviously it is okay to wish Muslims a good celebration, but to send a greeting on the Ascension of Christ is not politically correct. There must be an end to erasing one’s own culture and one’s own traditions “, Listhaug wrote on Twitter.

Left-wing member Bahareh Letnes then went Listhaug violently to court.

– How far down are you willing to sink, or how far are you willing to go to find attacks and mistrust of all Muslims in Norway? What do you really know about Norwegian Muslims? In your eyes, obviously all Muslims are fundamentalist, extreme, and everyone has a genetic predisposition to engage in terrorism, Letnes tells Dagbladet.
