Media City Qatar and Qatar University hosted the second edition of the Euronews Academy Bootcamp, focused on digital and mobile journalism, which took place from 28–30 October 2025 at St. Regis Marsa Arabia. The program offered training sessions designed to provide participants with practical skills and insights relevant to modern journalism.
Students from Qatar University’s College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Mass Communication, participated in a series of interactive workshops over the first two days. Sessions covered digital storytelling techniques, mobile reporting and editing, and strategies for using social media platforms to engage audiences. The final day brought together instructors and representatives from Qatar University, Media City Qatar, and Euronews for a dedicated session, allowing participants to consolidate their learning in a collaborative environment.
Tevfik Ergun, Director of Strategy & Excellence at Media City Qatar, said: “At Media City Qatar, we are committed to fostering innovation and collaboration within the media sector. Through our partnership with Qatar University and Euronews, the bootcamp provides opportunities for emerging talent to explore new ideas, gain exposure to industry standards, and contribute to shaping the next generation of media professionals. Initiatives like this support Qatar National Vision 2030 by nurturing a skilled, creative workforce that strengthens the country’s media ecosystem.”
Dr. Fatima Al-Kubaisi, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Qatar University said: “This program with Media City Qatar and Euronews provides our academic community with vital global media expertise. It encourages the critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving essential for building a diversified, knowledge-based economy, aligning with our mission to cultivate individuals who can make a positive impact within society.”
Jane Witherspoon, Managing Editor Middle East, Central Asia and South Caucasus, Euronews said: “Partnering with Media City Qatar and Qatar University enables Euronews to contribute to strengthen journalistic excellence across the region. This bootcamp equips participants with the practical experience, ethical grounding, and global perspectives needed to produce impactful, high-quality journalism that speaks to both local and international audiences.”
Leading the sessions was Amber Bryce, a senior social media journalist at Euronews with extensive experience in digital and mobile journalism. Prior to joining Euronews, she worked with The Times and Twitter, where she developed strategies for integrating social media into newsroom operations and storytelling.
