The journalism profession is a rollercoaster of gathering, assessing, creating and presenting information to the public, according to the American Press Institute. Kareem El Damanhoury, who has had more than ten years of media experience in the US and Arab world, can attest to the variety of trials and tribulations that may be thrown at a journalist.

“The main event that got me into journalism was in 2006 when a ferry sank killing about 1,000 people, and seeing how the African nations and media were focusing on soccer and not covering the people who had drowned,” El Damanhoury said in a small white brick office room in the MFJS building.

    Love this story and I love Kareem as well! I’m glad you got to look into his background as a CNN employee as it has been something I have wanted to know more about since the beginning of this quarter!
