REVIEW
This was our first meeting after the Eid break, and we learned about press management. As journalism takes many forms, such as print, digital, or online, those involved in this field should understand press management before beginning their work. This particular chapter was particularly interesting to me because I finally gained a basic understanding of press management and organization. It is definitely something new to me, and I hope that we will continue to gain knowledge on this matter in every future meeting.
