AUK Mass Communication & Media Students Visit Al Hadath Studios

Assistant Professor of Mass Communication & Media at the American University of Kuwait, Dr. Mohammad Akbar, gave his students at the Broadcast Journalism class an opportunity to visit and tour Al-Hadath Studios - a local broadcast studio in Kuwait. During the visit, Mr. Hussein Jamal, the owner of Al-Hadath Studios and Director of the News Department and Political Programs at Kuwait TV, welcomed the students and conducted the tour of the premises while sharing his personal experiences as a journalist.

As part of an applied learning project, the students were given the chance to record a session that they had created inside an actual studio. Students were assigned specific roles to play as a TV crew, such as interviewer, floor manager, director, where they managed the equipment themselves.

Dr. Akbar explained that the students felt comfortable inside the studio. "The students acted professionally and really took the experience in. They put all their energy into creating a full-length live video as a practice for their class", he added.
