| Sultan Al Qassimi |
Sultan Al Qassimi, an Emirati journalist who was involved in reporting news about the Egyptian revolution, was pleased to share his story and how he started writing about Egypt with ZU Dubai students.
As Mr. Al Qassimi loves shaking the boat and making news interesting, he dedicated himself to covering the news about the riot that was going on in Egypt. He started watching different news sources and reported on what was going on Twitter. That is when he realized that over 10,000 people have followed him on Twitter as they just “wanted news 49 second after it happens, not 49 minutes after it happens”. It is only then that he know the power of Twitter and what it can do.
He loved the rush that was happening and loved how hectic things were as he was thinking of what was happening all the time and he was really dedicated to delivering the news to people around the world as it happens. He liked the feeling to be part of this dynamic world where everyone wanted to know and he was helping people know what is happening right on the scene.
Mr. Al Qassimi was trying to deliver messages which were not reaching out to people as fast as he would hoped. He decided to help people know what was going on as he knew what if felt not knowing if your relatives or friends are doing good, or what was really happening on of the streets; as he had friends who were in the midst of it all.
