The Media Development Center (MDC) of Birzeit University, Palestine has become an AIBD affiliate member.

Birzeit University's Media Development Center (MDC) was founded in 1996 as a radio training program. The history of media studies at Birzeit dates back to 1963 when the University began offering journalism courses. In 1993, the University began to expand its journalism activities substantially. The Center's subsequent development into a full-fledged Institute with five units in the fields of radio, print journalism, TV, academic programs and media resources, came largely as a result of the glaring need for professionals in the field of mass media.

One of the aims of MDC is to encourage the development of independent audio/visual media and improve technical skills in audio/visual production and computer technologies of local residents and members of civic organizations.

The affiliate membership of MDC would further strengthen AIBD’s cooperation among broadcasting/media organizations and higher learning institutions in Palestine.
