Workshops

Link Productions is currently conducting an editing workshop designed for professional Palestinian editors who wish to expand their technical skills in non - linear editing tools. The workshop, which specializes in children's programs, is part of the company's effort to develop the Palestinian media industry by training journalists and other professionals in order to improve the quality of work being produced in Palestine.

The workshop has introduced trainees to key concepts and editing terminology, main menus and toolbars available in the Discreet Logic editing unit, and several skills and special effects techniques.

There are currently ten trainees involved in the workshop; some are editors working for the Palestinian television, others work for private Palestinian television channels located in the West Bank.

The current workshop is the first in a series of workshop Link Productions intends to conduct for Palestinian media professional wishing to expand their technical skills in media related production work.

Link Productions realizes the important impact the media has on the socio-political development of a nation-state. Since the Declaration Of Principles in 1993, Palestinians have been improving the media industry in the self-rule area in order to enhance the development of their future state. Palestinian aspiration for freedom and independence has been most obvious in the growing number of institutions and individuals who are keen to participate in the development of the media industry. The media industry in Palestine is not only an integral part of Palestinian social and political life, but equally a key to achieving democracy and ensuring the development of political and social awareness among the Palestinian people.

Immense effort is being made to expand and improve the media industry in the country. Link Productions can facilitate in this development, most notably in the area of television production.
