Q1] Was this the first time AMEJE took it's Jurno-students to the Middle East ?
Q2] What did you set out to achieve and how do you [ & students ] think you went ?

who are not sure if Middle East journalism is what they want to pursue at Uni ?

Scott Bridges has taught at the University of Canberra since 2011 and currently lectures in communications and journalism.
His PhD looked at how Al Jazeera’s reach and influence is expanding in the non-Arabic-speaking world.
On February 11, 2011, President Hosni Mubarak’s three-decade rule of Egypt came to an end after 18 days of massive and unprecedented street protests. In the course of those few days, a 24-hour news channel unlike any other, Al Jazeera English, emerged in a crowded global news market as the source for reporting on the Egyptian Revolution.
Many Egyptians felt betrayed, and Facebook and Twitter were full of rumors about;
a deal between Qatar - the Persian Gulf emirate whose emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, founded Al Jazeera in 1996 — and President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, who visited the emir in Doha.
Scott worked as a director at Al Jazeera English in 2010 and 2011.

Scott started work on 18 Days after finishing work at AJE and spent eighteen months on the project, including two research trips back to Qatar.
