"Economy in Brief": A New Program Launching on Al Jazeera Media Institute Platforms

AJMI – Doha
Al Jazeera Media Institute is set to launch a new digital program titled "Economy in Brief" at the end of this month. Presented by Dr. Ammar Taiebi-Al Jazeera’s leading economic news anchor and a prominent voice in Arab economic journalism-the program aims to make complex economic concepts accessible to wider audiences.

Designed in an engaging and interactive format, "Economy in Brief" simplifies key financial ideas through real-life examples and practical stories. It is especially tailored to benefit journalism students, media trainees, and curious minds from diverse backgrounds.

The program will explore a broad range of topics, including economic recession, inflation, interest rates, public debt, emerging markets, and the role of central banks. Each episode highlights the real-world impact of these concepts on individuals and communities.

What distinguishes "Economy in Brief" is its innovative approach: combining simplicity, creativity, and storytelling to deliver content that is both educational and shareable across the Institute’s digital platforms.

This initiative comes in response to the growing demand for credible and engaging economic content—especially in light of the rapid transformations affecting global and regional economies. As audiences increasingly turn to digital platforms for reliable insight and analysis, "Economy in Brief" seeks to fill that gap with clarity and relevance.

Through this program, Al Jazeera Media Institute aims to strengthen economic and financial literacy, stimulate public dialogue around economic issues, and contribute to informed, thoughtful media engagement. The series is part of the Institute’s broader mission to deliver high-quality digital content, promote media literacy, and empower a new generation of journalists with essential tools across all areas of the profession.
