Hayam, a photographer for the Middle East News Agency talks about the impact of multimedia training for Egyptian journalists.
In the first week we have made a half dozen interviews with journalists that MDP has trained and we filmed on locations all around Cairo. We have visited the offices of the news training centers for journalists the program has established at MENA, Al Ahram Al Akbar, Cairo University and other news organizations. We have done interviews in the streets and at sunrise this morning we filmed some new footage from the Pyramids. We were buzzed by huge military aircraft flying at low altitude. Have to wait for the film to be ingested to see how it came out but here re a few snaps from my trusty LX-2 which has joined me on my adventures the last four years.
