Podcast : Journalism and Media development challenges and perspectives in North-Africa and in the Middle-East

  • Mabrouka Khedir (Tunisia), head of Cosmos, dedicated to environmental issues
  • Manar Rachwani (Syria), journalist and Sahafa Med correspondent
  • Jonathan Dagher (Lebanon), journalist & head of Reporters Without Borders’ Middle East desk
  • Bayan Al Fadl (Syria), Internews
