November 23rd, 2016: Students from the School of Communication and Media Studies at Canadian University Dubai (CUD) have been given firsthand experience of studio operations in a visit to one of the biggest media organizations in the UAE, Dubai Media Incorporated.
The group, accompanied by Assistant Professor, Dr. Ghada Abaido, took a comprehensive tour of the organization’s production facilities in Dubai and gained a real-life insight into how television radio and advertising content is created and transmitted.
Journalism student Hongyan Zhu revealed, “We were able to see how programs were made and witnessed a live radio broadcast. We also gained an interesting insight into the lifecycle of how commercials are put together. The most fascinating aspect was seeing the high-tech equipment in action, such as the use and control of studio lighting technology.”
Reflecting on the visit, Hongyan said, “It was an outstanding experience that put into context all of the theory that we learn in the classroom. Seeing the practical side of the industry has improved my understanding and motivated my further in my studies.”
