Manager of New Media
A graduate of the Mohammedia
School of Engineers, Noujoum Dabssi quickly adapted herself to an entity such
as the Moroccan Press Agency where journalism and technological tools go hand
in hand. At the
beginning of her career, she naturally took care of the operation and support
of telecommunications networks, with the responsibility of managing the
"studies and planning" and "clients and interventions"
departments. In 2011, she
was at the heart of the transformation of the agency, which would from that
moment onwards diversify its focus areas in order to adapt to new audiovisual
technologies. MAP TV and
MAP Audio were born. These new
services must produce video and audio content that deals with national news. Noujoum Dabssi, responsible for the audiovisual
professions within the agency, takes care of the whole production chain: from
the needs expressed during the editors’ conference, to the deployment of the media
to be used until the dissemination of the final product. "It's a challenge for me. News never stops. There are always new topics to deal with and this
will always require quality images, a good editing and a good comment”, explains
Noujoum who knew how to train herself to the new professions. According to her, organization is the key to
success: "You have to know how to manage your time and teams, listen to
others, delegate and make people take responsibility".
