The Qatar Press Center (QPC) has invited all journalists, media professionals in Qatar who wish to publish their works to contact the centre.
This comes as part of the QPC’s vision aimed at enriching journalistic and media content, and within the framework of its efforts to support journalists and media professionals.
The invitation includes journalists, article writers, researchers in the fields of journalism and media, investigative journalism, journalistic investigations, cartoonists, photojournalists and others, provided that applicants are Qataris or residents in Qatar.
Sadiq Mohamed al-Amari, QPC Director General, said: “We are pleased at the QPC to encourage all journalists, media professionals and researchers from various journalistic fields in Qatar to submit their works for possible issuing and printing them in a way that contributes to spreading the centre’s message and vision and consolidating its role in the media scene.”
He added: “Journalists and media professionals are often busy with covering news and events without paying attention to collecting their work, articles, or investigations for publishing them in a book. This could be due to lack of time or the absence of a party that covers printing expenses, or in view of the great influence of social media.”
He said: “Here comes the role of the centre to fill this gap, in documenting journalistic and media content.”
He added: “We invite all those wishing to publish their works to contact the centre, as we have allocated the e-mail [email protected] and the phone number 44994997. Indicating the formation of a committee of experts to evaluate these works, and provide advice and guidance to those wishing to publish their publications, which is part of the centre’s strategy that aims to enhance the role of journalists in diversifying journalistic and media content, indicating that the centre will begin receiving printing requests starting today until the end of August 2024.”
The centre recently participated in the 33rd Doha International Book Fair, where it issued a diverse collection of books, most notably The World Cup Feather, which includes the caricatures published by Qatari newspapers on the occasion of hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and the book The World Cup Legacy: Pictures from the Heart of the Event, which is the first work of a group of professional photographers from Qatar, the Gulf and the world, as it included shots of decisive moments in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and the book Sunday Morning - Part Three, which includes articles by the writer and media figure Mubarak bin Jaham al-Kuwari, in addition to the book On the Sword of the East by Professor Sultan al-Jassim, which is an album of rare photos of prominent sports and local events during the ‘50s and ‘60s.
