David Barsamian (born 1945) is an Armenian-American radio broadcaster, writer, and the founder and director of Alternative Radio, a Boulder, Colorado–based syndicated weekly public affairs program heard on some 250 radio stations worldwide.[2]

Barsamian started working in radio in 1978 at KGNU in Boulder, Colorado, and then KRZA in Alamosa, Colorado.[3]

Articles by (and interviews with) Barsamian have appeared regularly in The Progressive, The Sun and Z Magazine. Barsamian also lectures on U.S. foreign policy, corporate control, the media, and propaganda.

As a writer, Barsamian is best known for his series of interviews with Noam Chomsky, which have been published in book form and translated into many languages.

Deportation from India

[edit]

On 23 September 2011, Barsamian was deported from India.[4] After arriving on a flight at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, he was refused entry and placed on a return flight.[5] Barsamian attributes this to his reportage on human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir.[6]
