Dubai Press Club selects three students for Arab Media Forum 2008

The training will include event management and coordination, researching potential topics for the forum and video production.

The three students were chosen on the basis of their outstanding performance when they visited the DPC-sponsored the Media Talent Zone during the Media and Marketing Show (MMS) 2007. A huge number of students studying communications and journalism visited the Zone which featured exclusive sessions on TV news production, feature-story writing and photography.

Maryam Bin Fahad, Executive Director, DPC, said: "We believe the training will enable the students to understand the key requirements in organizing high profile forums such as the Arab Media Forum and Arab Journalism Awards. This experience will also provide them with the knowledge about the industry, and will motivate them to pursue careers in media."

Students who were not recruited but visited the Media Training Zone will also be offered an opportunity for training with DPC.

In addition, Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI), which was also part of the Media Talent Zone at the MMS 2007, will provide training for five students.

Organised by the Dubai Press Club, the Arab Media Forum 2007 was attended by over 600 regional and international delegates, including editors-in-chief of major print and the broadcast media, as well as leading journalists, columnists, academics, analysts, commentators and senior government officials.
