Introducing City’s new Honorary Visiting Fellow

Dr Azzam Al Dakhil has been awarded an Honorary Visiting Fellowship by City’s Department of Journalism.

Dr Azzam Al Dakhil, CEO and member of the Board of Directors at the Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG), one of the largest publishing groups in the Middle East, has been awarded an Honorary Visiting Fellowship by City’s Department of Journalism.


The award came as part of Media and Citizenship: Transnational Television Cultures Reshaping Political Identities in the European Union - a special event held within the School of Arts to launch EU-funded research conducted by its Dean, Professor Christine Slade, which highlights the impact of transnational Arab media on Arab immigrants in Europe.

Dr Al Dakhil, who accepted the Honorary Visiting Fellowship from Professor George Brock, says: “It is both a great honour and a pleasure to accept this grand recognition from one of the United Kingdom’s leading journalism schools.

“I will always support efforts to further enhance and better manage our up and coming journalists, not only because they are a key element in any media organisation’s operation, but more importantly because well trained journalists are an essential tool in spreading better understanding amongst society of key issues.”

“City is keen to extend its links and partnerships within the Middle East, so we are thrilled that Dr Al-Dakhil joins City as a Honorary Visiting Fellow within the Department of Journalism.”
Professor George Brock, City’s Head of Journalism
