 Over two centuries, we have used newspapers, radio, television, books, and cinema to communicate. But in the 21st century, digital, social, and mobile define what and how we communicate.

What I learned during my university years helped me a lot with my career, especially in reporting, my writing skills, critical thinking, analytical thinking. It pushed me to so many different fields and careers throughout my 12 years working with the UN, working as a journalist, working with underprivileged communities. My experience at AUS has really helped me build a sturdy foundation from the get-go from the moment I graduated from the mass communication program. I worked first for the National newspaper, which is an Abu Dhabi-based UAE newspaper. After that, I worked for the Daily Star, which is a Lebanese English language daily. And I just left the Daily Star last week to become a Middle East correspondent for the Guardian newspaper.
