In this regard, I would like to refer to the developmental role played by our media department at Qatar University, which recently organized a coordination meeting to empower media students and graduates, in an open dialogue with officials of the Qatar Media Corporation. Writes Khawla Mortazavi
There is no doubt that many work institutions today need to hire graduates who specialize in broad media fields. There is no doubt that many work institutions today need to hire graduates who specialize in broad media fields. To contribute to achieving its visions and various communication goals. Perhaps one of the most important factors employers are looking for is a promising journalist. It is the availability of the factor of experience and field practice, which, in turn, achieves a kind of confidence and strength in preference and the correctness of choice.
Media departments and faculties are required today to qualify their pioneers from the future media nuclei in a qualification that is compatible with the requirements of the labor market, which expects to employ a media person who possesses, from the outset, the simplest skills of editing and media production. And I am not talking about that purely theoretical circle that starts from courses and courses that the student joins and completes after fulfilling its requirements in the expected manner. And armed with media practice alike.
In this regard, I would like to refer to the developmental role played by our media department at Qatar University, which recently organized a coordination meeting to empower media students and graduates, in an open dialogue with officials of the Qatar Media Corporation. The department’s endeavor to achieve more empowerment for its students, starting from study seats and ending with appointment, is a very promising gesture, and we thank all the distinguished professors in charge of it. The labor market consists of qualified outputs that can respond and keep pace with the renewed transformations in the media industry.
If searching for a new press story and writing it according to the editorial controls is one of the first skills that a media student is expected to acquire, then I find it very important to ask media students to cover the various activities and events that Qatar University organizes on a daily basis, morning and evening. I find that this renewal in the nature, form, and requirements of each of these events will achieve this required challenge in covering different forms of events, and that this diversity can also be employed not only to contribute to the development of journalism students, but also students of other disciplines we have in the department, whether specialists or In public relations or radio and television specialists.
The continuous arrival of the media student to the field, and contact with the challenges posed by the organized events and activities, whether before, during or after the organization, is a rich opportunity to strengthen the outputs of the department and empower our students with their tools and skills and establish the major theoretical bases that were presented to them through daily practice. And refine their media personality before graduation.
I hope that the Department of Media at Qatar University will further develop and progress, and build more successful partnerships with the media and communication sectors in the country.
