Oprah Winfrey

She has the leading show that appeals to international audiences at a time because of several factors. Her approach is very humanitarian and she tackles many subjects that are of interest not only locally but also on the global level in many communities regardless of their ethnicity. The success that she has acquired from even her most local and American shows is due to the fact that she can add a level of humanitarian interest that personalizes any topic she discusses. Another factor, in my opinion the most effective, is the fact that her show does not only explore and expose issues, but it also tackles them and solves them in many cases, from domestic problems of drug abuse to world disasters like the Tsunami catastrophe.
If I was Oprah Winfrey, I would be a more objective with regards to tackling issues that deal with the Arab world. In episodes like the one that displayed women globally or in ones about the war in Iraq, many misconceptions and stereotypical negative imagery about the Arab world were displayed. As an objective talk show host that has fans on a worldwide level, Oprah should have at least considered the other side of the story.
This show is an important source of entertainment in the Arab world. Some topics may be less relevant to Arab communities than others, and sometimes the topics can be provoking, but on the overall there is a large audience for it. There is a widespread knowledge and attitude acquisition from this show.
