Zarqa, June 4 (Petra) — Students from the Faculty of Media at Zarqa
University have completed their engagement in a specialized media
project, themed: “Jordanian Journalists Honor Journalism and
Journalists in Gaza,” aimed at strengthening documentary media
production for humanitarian issues.
The project, which was organized by the Artistic Production Lab in
cooperation with the Dutch organization Free Press Unlimited, is part
of training initiatives designed to enhance students’ documentary
storytelling skills.
At the closing ceremony, students presented a series of films and
human-interest stories on the hardships facing journalists in the
Gaza Strip and their sacrifices, while carrying out their
professional duties under difficult conditions to convey truth to the
world despite ongoing risks and challenges.
Seven outstanding students represented the Faculty of Media in the
project, who contributed to media production and fieldwork throughout
the activities.
Dean of the Faculty of Media Dr. Amjad Safouri said the students’
achievements and the presentation of their work reflect the faculty’s
commitment to providing “practical” learning experiences that bridge
academic knowledge and field application, aimed to enhance students’s
professional skills.
Safouri said addressing this humanitarian issue gave students a
deeper understanding of the media’s role in documenting facts,
defending human rights, and highlighting the work of journalists in
conflict zones as witnesses to events and voices for realities.
On future vision, he said the faculty will continue building local
and international partnerships that provide students with
opportunities to train in professional content production and gain
practical experience.
He noted this effort would help create a new generation of competent
media professionals to work with “professionalism and objectivity in
a rapidly evolving media landscape.”
