The program also focused on delivering this content across various modern media platforms, from traditional television studios to podcasts and social media platforms, which have become a significant part of today's sports media landscape.
Training staff and raising professional quality
The program featured practical applications and rich interactive discussions that contributed to enhancing the professional competence of the participants and qualifying them to practice the role of sports analyst according to systematic principles and international standards. At the program's conclusion, Dr. Abdullah bin Ahmed Al-Maghlouth, Assistant Minister of Media and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Media Academy, emphasized the paramount importance of such high-quality programs in his address.
