The workshop was first held between June 24–28, 2024, and its second intensive period took place between May 23–25, 2025, at the Ibn Haldun University Media Center. Fifteen undergraduate and graduate students selected from various departments of the university gained professional broadcasting experience by working on news announcements, live broadcast management, and crisis scenarios in a studio environment.
Speaking at the opening session of the workshop, Ashour shared many important topics with the participants, ranging from live broadcast management to field connections. He specifically referred to the phone interviews he conducted with civilians under Israeli attacks in Gaza, and explained, with examples, the precautions that must be taken to ensure the safety of both guests and the people around them during such broadcasts.
On the second day of the program, students prepared and presented their own television content in the formats of news bulletins, talk shows, and special interviews. At the end of the program, certificates of achievement were presented to the students by Mustafa Ashour and Dr. Hasan Ramazan Yılmaz from the School of Communication at Ibn Haldun University.
This year’s workshop not only provided students with technical knowledge, but also offered them a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in safety-focused broadcasting practices during times of war and crisis.
