Media City Qatar in collaboration with Qatar University has recently hosted the Euronews Business Media Training. The purpose of this project was to equip students with a practical knowledge of media production, journalism, editing, and broadcasting and to boost the future creative talent of the industry.
It was a three-day training event located at the College of Business and Economics, Qatar University, to be an engaging experience with students in media and other related fields. Hands-on training with real case study exposure combined theoretical knowledge along with the enrichment of practical skills.
It was led by experts in the Euronews Doha production team, as they talked about the new trends, innovative ways of distribution, and changing business models in the global media environment, allowing students to observe the shifting landscape of this industry.
