Media City Qatar lent its voice to the Eye on Qatar series, published by the Wall Street Journal in collaboration with the Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar. With a focus on Qatar's teeming opportunities and initiatives, the piece points to a dynamic and exciting ecosystem for media players.
CEO of MCQ, Sheikh Ali Bin Abdulla Bin Khalifa Al-Thani emphasizes the critical stage that Qatar's media ecosystem has reached, particularly after the global spotlight on the country in 2022: “We now find ourselves at a critical stage for Qatar’s media ecosystem.
