Unlimited professional and academic ambitions .. Emirati Abdul Salam Muhammad Al Hammadi was able to achieve them during his long career that he started from an early stage in his life, through which he could keep pace with his aspirations and confirm that nothing would be difficult to achieve if it was coupled with will and desire to achieve goals and objectives, in addition to determination. And not hesitating to go into the midst of new experiences, with which Al-Hammadi opened wider horizons for the future, betting on his own qualifications and professional competencies, and exposing the traditional plans that some rely on out of fear of failure and failure, and the inadequacy of the conditions for dreams.

Paths and options

In an interview with "Emirates Today", the Emirati journalist and social researcher, Abdul Salam Al Hammadi, revealed the details of his journey, which he drew in quiet steps that ensured success and distinction without forgetting that the door to dreams and ambitions is still open to many options, and possible paths that he can think of taking.

Actually, the matter was achieved later, and I succeeded in joining the news center of Sharjah TV, to be the broadcaster of (Al Dar News) since 2013 until today.

Regarding the other television experiences that he had the opportunity to go through during that period, Al Hammadi added: “The opportunity to work in Sharjah TV gave me a varied view of the audience, through the experience of a cultural program bearing an academic character entitled (From History) whose number of episodes exceeded 45 TV hours broadcasted. For two full seasons, it stopped after that due to quarantine conditions and the outbreak of the emerging (Corona) virus.

Parliamentary action

Regarding the common relationship between media and social research for him, the Emirati researcher and journalist emphasized that “there is complementarity between the two fields, given that sociology is the basis of social sciences such as history and media.” He explained that both experiences contributed to his cognitive and professional formation by saying: “Through my daily follow-ups. For the current daily news, I expanded my knowledge of the political and social fields and the various related fields, while the academic study, on the other hand, contributed to refining my practical experience, through the compass of scientific research and solid academic social research.

Stressing that "the two experiences are important to me, even in the field of my career within the Federal National Council, as I undertake, with the convening of each new session, the task of reciting the Federal Decree calling for the Federal National Council to convene."
