Ajman Government Media Office Hosts Meta Workshop on Upholding Societal Values Across Social Media Platforms

The Ajman Government Media Office organised a specialised workshop in collaboration with Meta, addressing adherence to professional standards and societal values on social media platforms. The workshop was held as part of ongoing efforts to promote conscious content creation and raise the quality of digital media outputs.

The workshop was attended by officials responsible for media and corporate communication across Ajman Government departments, alongside more than 90 media professionals and social media influencers from across the country.

The workshop was organised in line with the Ajman Government Media Office’s orientations aimed at developing a responsible digital media environment, cementing the UAE’s standing as a leading global hub for media creativity and innovation, and enhancing the presence of balanced and credible content on interactive platforms.

The workshop was delivered by Ahmed Shahada, Head of the Government Sector at Meta for the Middle East and North Africa region, who presented best practices in the production and management of digital content across social platforms, as well as mechanisms for elevating the quality of published content in a manner that strengthens credibility and amplifies the reach of media messages.

The workshop underscored the importance of the conscious use of digital platforms and the necessity of understanding the nature of publishing in the digital space — and the commitment to media content standards and societal values that this entails — particularly in light of the growing influence of social media platforms in shaping public opinion.
