MTV: Israel Alt Spring Break Venue
On Israelity this week…
NewsFlash!
Up next month: On March 24th (check for local listing time): MTV News airs “The Amazing Break,” a 30-minute special highlighting college students who spend their vacation time volunteering for local or international causes.
One of the four program segments will showcase Jewish National Fund’s Alternative Spring Break in Israel: A film crew shows groups pruning forests scarred by last year’s summer war, painting bomb shelters & meeting Northern Israel residents and foresters who lived the experience.
Andrew Millard, MTV News producer: “…we immediately felt that it would be something our audience would want to see. Not only is it newsworthy but we thought it that it offered an interesting perspective on a very complicated part of the world.”

Now that’s great and all, but why can’t we get MTV to just film hot Israeli’s on the beach? Why must we always be an interesting overshadowed by conflict alternative? Why? WHHHYYYY!!!

Because Americans have their own beaches to look at and filming another nation’s beaches would not pay for the broadcast.
Although there is more to Israel than the current crisis, it may not sell to the general American public.
