The Ministry of Youth Affairs announced the launch of the Exceptional Media Professional initiative as part of its programmes marking Bahraini Youth Day, observed annually on March 25. The initiative aims to recognise and empower young Bahraini media professionals and to promote a professional, responsible media message that reflects the Kingdom of Bahrain’s values, national identity, and positive image.
The initiative seeks to highlight outstanding young media figures across various fields, encourage creativity, develop skills, and strengthen a culture of excellence and professionalism, contributing to the preparation of a conscious young media generation capable of keeping pace with developments in the media sector.
Rawan bint Najeeb Tawfiqi, Minister of Youth Affairs, affirmed that the initiative aligns with the vision of His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs, to enhance youth participation, particularly in the media sector. She noted that Bahraini youth have demonstrated high competence and responsibility in conveying the national media message.
The minister emphasised that investing in outstanding young media professionals is an investment in societal awareness, adding that the Ministry will continue to adopt initiatives that support youth aspirations and expand their role in national development, while reinforcing the role of youth media in highlighting Bahrain’s achievements locally and internationally.
She called on young media professionals with passion and ambition to register for the initiative via the Ministry’s official website www.mya.gov.bh
