This two-month program comes within the framework of ongoing cooperation between QNA and Qatar University to support and develop promising national media professionals.
QNA Training Center has prepared a comprehensive training program for the participating students, designed to introduce them to the media work environment at the Qatar News Agency and equip them with the essential knowledge and skills related to journalistic and news work.
The program includes field visits and practical training in various editorial departments at the agency.
