Hamadein employed its media platforms to whitewash Tamim and his friends. Pushed Qataris away from its screens to silence the truth. Spent billions to attract mercs to his channels. Let Qatar suffer absence of patriotic cadres in journalism and TV.
A forum at Al-Sharq newspaper discussed the dire condition. Graduates of Qatar’s mass media colleges face unemployment. Complained against negligence and dependence on foreign cadres. They look for jobs outside of their field of study and want a strategy to qualify to create Qatari cadres.
Condemned giving billions to non-Qatari hosts.
Lack of a national voice reflected poorly on credibility of journalism. Qataris are least like to trust the media among the Gulf. 40% Of them don’t believe Hamadein’s channels. 50% Get their news from foreign sources.
