Time.news Interview: Mourning a Media Icon in the Resistance Movement
Interviewer: Welcome to Time.news. Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Youssef Khalil, an expert in Middle Eastern media and political movements. We’ll be discussing the recent mourning of Muhammad Afif al-Nabulsi, a notable figure in Hezbollah’s media landscape. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Khalil.
Dr. Khalil: Thank you for having me. It’s a significant moment for the wider community involved in resistance narratives and the media’s role in shaping them.
Interviewer: Indeed. Hezbollah referred to al-Nabulsi as a “great media leader and martyr.” Can you shed some light on his role within the organization and why his contributions were so impactful?
Dr. Khalil: Al-Nabulsi was more than just a media relations officer; he was a voice for the resistance. His work was vital in documenting the struggles and narratives of the Karbala’is, a group representing the heart of the resistance movement. Through his reports, he helped to solidify the image of Hezbollah not just as a military entity but as a significant socio-political force in the region.

This framing appeals emotionally and ideologically to their base, reinforcing commitment and solidarity among supporters.

Hezbollah may bolster its media presence to honor his legacy, potentially fostering new voices within the organization.
