Join the “Mobile Journalism Workshop,” organized by the Faculty of Information and Communication (FIC) at Antonine University. This three-day hands-on workshop is designed for students and professionals interested in developing practical mobile journalism skills using smartphones as complete reporting tools.

As the first workshop of its kind at UA, the initiative introduces participants to the core practices of mobile journalism, covering photography, reporting, editing, and storytelling for digital platforms. Drawing on academic and professional models developed by leading institutions such as the University of Westminster and the University of Missouri, the workshop combines theory with applied training to reflect current newsroom realities.

What to Expect

Participants will explore mobile-first journalism through practical modules focusing on vertical video production, social media publishing, live reporting techniques, and fact-checking tools. The sessions emphasize hands-on learning and real-world applications, enabling participants to produce, edit, and publish journalistic content directly from their smartphones.
