Digital Producing & A.I
In this episode of My TV Journey With Lola, I’m joined by Abdullah, former Head of Development at Sky News Arabia, whose career spans roles as a DOP, producer, director, and executive director. We talk about how content is developed and commissioned, the shift from traditional TV to digital-first storytelling, how journalism is evolving, and what it really takes to build a freelance career today. We also dive into AI in content creation and why Abdullah sees opportunity where others see fear!
