The Digital Journalism Department at the College of Mass Communication, University of Baghdad, organized a scientific visit for third-year students to the Iraqi Media Network, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Noah Izz Al-Din Abdul Razzaq. The visit was part of the Department’s efforts to strengthen practical learning and connect theoretical coursework with the realities of professional media work.
During the visit, the students learned about the Network’s work processes, from newsrooms and editorial departments to technical and production units and broadcasting studios. Specialists provided detailed explanations of the stages involved in producing news and program content, as well as professional standards, verification practices, and journalistic ethics in national media institutions.
The visit also featured direct discussions with media professionals, who answered students’ questions about digital journalism technologies, platform management, and the challenges facing contemporary media, particularly in terms of speed, accuracy, and audience engagement across multimedia platforms.
Dr. Izz Al-Din emphasized that such academic activities help sharpen students’ skills and broaden their professional horizons by familiarizing them with the requirements of the media job market. He noted that this approach is in line with the College of Mass Communication’s vision of preparing qualified professionals who combine academic knowledge with practical experience.
The visit is part of a series of field programs organized by the Digital Journalism Department, reaffirming its role in building bridges of cooperation with media institutions and strengthening students’ practical training in line with the rapid developments in the digital media environment.
