A seminar at USAL on "Women in the Media and Challenges of the Trade"

Students of the the arts workshop affiliated to the Faculty of science at the University of Sciences And Arts in Lebanon organised yesterday at the university campus (located on the old airport road) a seminar with media professional Ghadi Francis.  The event was entitled "Women in the Media and the Challenges of the Trade".  Francis spoke about her own professional journey and the challenges she faced.  She noted that contrary to what is known, women's work in the media is easier than men's. She highlighted her experience in covering the Syrian war and how she realised that women can easily access the most dangerous of locations.  She further added that the main challenge is not in covering the war or in getting arrested a number of time but in remaining independent and not biased to any party.  (Al Mustaqbal, May 10 2016)
