AMMAN — Al Rai for Media Training Studies, a new component of the Jordan Press Foundation, run by its Al Rai Studies and Training Centre, on Thursday concluded its second English training course on journalistic writing skills and digital media.
The five-day course was designed for individuals who are passionate about journalism, as well as media and communication officers in the public, private, political and civil society sectors, along with diplomatic missions.
The specialised course focused on objective writing techniques and creating press releases, along with introducing participants to digital trends in the media.
The course also provided attendees with tools to boost content online and via traditional media.
During the graduation ceremony, Al Rai Centre for Studies Director Khaled Shuqran said the newly-established media training centre aims at empowering seasoned journalists with specialised technical skills and providing added value in the field of specialised media training.
“This is one of its other major roles as the top press institution in the country and a prestigious think tank,” he said.
This specialised English course was the second of its kind for the centre and was taught by Mahmoud Al Abed, acting editor-in-chief of The Jordan Times, and Mohammed Ghazal, the managing editor.
