In the seventh episode, Rana Daoud looks at how journalism is being deconstructed and evolving as new skills are required to do the job.

Ramsey Tesdell and Samia Ayech emphasise the importance of technology and how the fact that it is changing the way we process information (statistics, analysis techniques etc.) means new ways of monitoring and verifying information and the ability to reach a wider audience. 

How can journalists be trained in these new techniques? According to our panel, the traditional academic route is no longer sufficient preparation for what the profession has become. This is why a group of media outlets - 7iber, Al Joumhouria, Mada Masr and Sowt - created the Alternative Academy of Arab Journalism, in order to respond to these emerging needs, both from a technical standpoint, and in order to rethink the way we see journalism.

 Episode guests, in order of appearance:     

Ramsey Tesdell, Co-Founder and Executive Director of  Sowt.

Samia Ayech, Journalism Trainer at Sayich.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
