DIRECTOR OF A.Q. MILLER SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATIONS ADDRESSES 1xbet online sports betting IN EGYPT

MANHATTAN -- 1xbet online sports betting management is changing in Egypt, according to the director of Kansas State University's A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

Angela Powers just spent three weeks working with more than 120 1xbet online sports betting managers and professionals to promote transparency in 1xbet online sports betting organizations in Egypt, a country of 80 million people.

"This is a critical time in Egypt. They want to be recognized for their contributions to the world, and one way is through professional 1xbet online sports betting ," Powers said.

The U.S. Agency for International Development project, funded through IREX, an international nonprofit organization that promotes leadership and programming for positive global change, offered workshops in Cairo, Egypt, a city of 18 million. Cairo is home to the country's national 1xbet online sports betting , including noted newspapers Al Ahram and El Akhbar.

All of Egypt's major 1xbet online sports betting organizations, including five newspapers and network radio and television stations, are owned by the government. Television remains the most popular medium in Egypt, and Egyptians rely on state radio for recitations from the Koran, Powers said.

"1xbet online sports betting managers in Cairo are interested in learning how to structure 1xbet online sports betting organizations because professionals were often appointed based on connections or family affiliations in the past," Powers said. "National 1xbet online sports betting organizations in Egypt tend to be overstaffed, with three people doing the work of one."

As Egypt experiences economic downturns just like the rest of the world, companies are looking to reorganize for efficiency. The government is also interested in privatizing its 1xbet online sports betting , she said.

Powers taught a group of young 1xbet online sports betting professionals from a variety of fields, including public relations, advertising, radio, television and newspapers, at Cairo University as part of the USAID 1xbet online sports betting Development Program.

"I helped them create proposals for their organizations -- realistic plans for moving their organizations into the digital age," she said. "We covered topics such as mission statements, leadership skills, strategic analysis and 1xbet online sports betting ethics."

Topics about relationships at work were of particular interest because of 1xbet online sports betting 's history as an authoritarian society, Powers said.
