First Woman to Head Palestinian News Agency
Palestinian journalist Khoulud Asaf says she was “surprised” when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas today appointed her as the new head of the Palestinian news Agency Wafa, which has a staff of 260 reporters and editors as well as administrative positions.
“This position is a culmination of all of the hard work that I have been doing for more than 20 years,” Asaf told The Media Line. “But many men still question the ability of women to take over these positions.”
