Jordanian students cover the Forum on Social Media and Politics

CFI and its partner, the Center for Strategic Studies, entrusted the online coverage of the Forum on Social Media and Politics, held on 21 and 22 January 2019, to a dozen male and female students from the journalism faculties of three Jordanian universities (Irbid, Az-Zarqa and Amman).

Mentored by two trainers, Anass Bendrif and Rabbie Hamamsah, the budding journalists took over the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts of the projet EU-JDID, covered all six of the round-table discussions and produced video reports.

“ Today I really felt like I was working for a media company. The pressure and the tight deadlines were difficult, but I loved the field experience that I gained from this event."
Tasneem Abu Rabieh, aged 21.
