I'm doing my master's in broadcast journalism at the moment and I'm hoping to go back to the Middle East to work. Which is the best country taking into account, press freedom, salary and room for growth.
Each country has its own broadcast style or pattern, from which you can learn completely different things. Each media outfit can give you substantial learning experience if you want to. To be choosy on which outfit to join may limit your opportunity to acquire a broader learning experience.
Its NOT just about, which country in the Middle East offers the best broadcast media infrastructure.
You have to look at: media regulations, freedom of speech
1) Media regulations,
2) Freedom of Press
3) Regulations on Citizen Journalism
4) Influx of talent and stories (counting them as one)
Based on that, Doha, Dubai and Cairo take the lead.
There is at least one media conglomerate operating in each of these cities that offers a great framework for broadcasting with great media mechanisms in place.
Any views on my answer?
