She said that the media is a wide open space, the high penetration rate of internet users has succeeded in making the internet one of the biggest and most dangerous tools specially in the media, therefore the journalist should always be aware of what is going on in the world in order to be able to follow up on the stories and have the capability of dealing with any issue no matter when or where.
