The participants were carefully selected to engage in an intense program giving them a birdseye view of the variety of specialized careers available in the media industry. During the rigorous two-day camp the all participants were given in-depth tours and tutorials from news anchors, journalists, television producers and behind-the-scenes executives at major media companies.
"I couldn't be more proud of the group of young people who took part in my 2013 Rising Media Stars Bootcamp. They were such a bright, talented and committed bunch! Seeing them thrive and really absorb all of the information given to them made me feel like the future of global media will be left in good hands!" said Egypt Sherrod, Host of HGTV's "Property Virgins" & V103 Midday Personality and Founder of the Egypt Cares Family Foundation.
"The 2013 Egypt's Rising Media Stars Bootcamp was beyond amazing! The group of teenagers selected to participate in this year's program were so impressive, and eager to learn from all the radio, TV, magazine and digital media experts we put in front of them," added Amber Noble-Garland, CEO of I For Talent Management and Chairperson of the Egypt Cares Family Foundation.
