He also pointed out the importance of professional standards for SANA in local news coverage which amount to 80 percent of the total news items published by SANA or any other news agency in the developing or developed countries.
The workshop sessions included practical applications on how to write news items, the different types of journalistic writings, how to use pluralistic approaches in news coverage and the impact of the Internet on new media.
