Saudi Prince Faisal ibn Salman has announced plans for a new institute designed to train Saudi youth in the technical aspects of the media industry, the Arab News Web site reported.
Prince Faisal said the new Prince Ahmad ibn Salman Institute for Applied Media is designed to match the "technological development of the media sector" by offering training in all the activities related to the industry.
A committee has been organized to discuss the training programs and courses to be offered at the institute, which Prince Faisal says will open shortly. Committee members say the institute will help Saudi youth master modern technology related to printing, publishing and advertising.
Turki Al-Sudairy, a member of the institute's constituent committee, told the Arab News that there is no shortage of Saudi editors and reporters being churned out by journalism schools. But those with technical skills are another matter.
"We are now focusing on training Saudis to take up technical and professional jobs at media and printing institutions," he said.
Other members of the committee include Khaled Al-Malik, editor-in-chief of he Al-Jazirah newspaper, Hashim Abdu Hashim, editor-in-chief of Okaz, and Muhammad Al-Waeel, editor-in-chief of Al-Yaum.
