Halah Al-Gharabally Web Editor Al Watan Daily |
A graduate of Kuwait English School, Halah then studied at Kuwait University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in English Literature in 2006. Jobs in English LIt are generally limited (unless you plan to teach), and Halah found work in a variety of positions prior to landing at Al Watan Daily.
She explains, "I began my career as office manager at an architecture firm, where I built the company's web site. . . . Following that, I worked at the Australian College of Kuwait's Engineering Department as senior administration officer," where the most relevant part of her job was overseeing the literature that was circulated to staff and students.
In December 2010, Halah got her media break! "I started working for Al Watan Daily and am fortunate enough to pursue my passions for all things Internet. I handle the newspaper's online presence, which includes the paper's blog, Twitter, and Facebook."
Many print media have yet to hire an employee devoted to online marketing, but Al Watan Daily recognized the need for this position and chose Halah for the job. She'll help MCM 201 students better understand the work of a Web Editor, and discover more about opportunities for online marketers. Prior to her visit, be sure to see Al Watan Daily on Twitter and read the Al Watan Daily blog. By the way, when you get to the blog I suggest you read the March 8 article about The Art of Persuasion!
