Dr. Yasser Abd El Aziz’s Seminar in CLC


The leading consultant and media expert Dr. Yasser Abd El Aziz gave a great and fruitful seminar in College of Language and Communication (CLC), Miami campus part of Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime (AASTMT) under the title “ How to be a good journalist?”

At the beginning of the seminar, Dr. Yasser introduced himself and he greeted the audience, then he started telling a story that has 4 different narrations because it has 4 characters – a young lady and 3 men- with 4 different perspectives. He then asked the students to rewrite the story from the right perspective in their opinion.

According to the stories that some of the students wrote, he gave some tips that according to him “Without them, you won’t be good journalists”. Some of these tips were to be objective as possible, do not presuppose, do not label or stereotype someone and do not fabricate facts, if you do not have full information about something, search for it or don’t mention it at all.


At the end of the seminar, the students asked some quite important questions about media and journalism, how to stay neutral and how to apply the newspaper’s policy at the same time, and his answers were very useful, helpful and to the point.
