Prime Minister Martin launched a new Civic Literacy Program on KNRTVN-1 in Ananto last week.  Drawing on her skills as a television news anchor, the Premier spoke of the new show, called "National Ryot, With Jill Martin" as a "Hour long show, aimed at educating teens and young adults on the Kalistani Constitution, issues of National Concern, and activism."  The Prime Minister said the show is officially non-Partisan, and is aimed at activating a new generation to reinvigorate Kalistani democracy. 

"Whether you are a leftist, centrist, or rightist, we want you to get active.  The only way young people will be active is if they feel like they are really a part of the process, if they understand that they have a role in our society, and they are encouraged to take an active role in their society."

The Premier will serve as the host of the weekly program and offer editorial comment, which she admits will contain a partisan spin, but the show will employ producers from across the spectrum of Kalistani Politics, to produce segments in the show which discuss current and relevant issues from all points of view.  In addition to political topics, the show will feature a different current band from around Kalistan every week, as well as discussion of arts and culture.  "National Ryot, with Jill Martin" will appear every Saturday night at 10:30 pm on KNRTVN-1 across the Republic, and then will repeat at 2:30 am on Sunday Morning.  The show has initially been greenlit for one season, with option for renewal.
