Media professionals call for coverage of positive developments in Iraq
By Mahmoud Al Abed
AMMAN Iraqi media professionals concluding a training course in Amman have high hopes for enhanced cooperation with media establishments around the Arab world.
One course participant said he would like to see Jordanian media be more positively involved in the Iraqi situation and more comprehensive in its coverage of events there.
I fault the Arab media in general, including Jordanian media outlets, for placing too much focus on the negative things that are happening in Iraq, said Haider Zubeidi, owner and director of the Basra-based Shat Al Arab Radio.
Yes, there is destruction, but it is not all. Iraq is witnessing many positive developments, he said, citing as one example the media boom in Iraq.
For decades, Iraq has seen only one-party, one-colour media. There are now more than 120 radio stations in Iraq, including 15 in the south, and about 70 newspapers, the executive said.
Lets hope this trend domino effects to corporations like CNN, MSN, and the BBC. This way they can catch up with FOX and show some more positive accomplishments happening in IRAQ
