Under the patronage of Prof. Al-Kasem Mohammed Abass, Sana’a University Rector, the second workshop on electronic websites and social media pages for the university’s faculties and centers was held today. During the workshop, Mr. Adel Al-Hababi, the Rector’s Advisor for Media Affairs, emphasized the importance of respecting timeliness in reporting news from the university’s faculties and research centers and promptly uploading it to their respective websites and social media pages. He also stressed the importance of ensuring that the news report fulfills all the essential elements of a news story.
The workshop, held at the Business Administration Center in the Faculty of Commerce, was attended by the administrators of the University’s websites and social media pages. Mr. Al-Hababi highlighted the need for complete data on the University’s websites, which serve as the primary point of contact for people both inside and outside the University.
