About The Event
The world of journalism is changing rapidly. Traditional newsrooms are evolving alongside digital journalism, independent media, multimedia storytelling, and new forms of communication.
For young people considering journalism as a career, understanding the profession requires more than knowing what course to study. It requires exposure to career opportunities, professional skills, challenges, ethical responsibilities, and the social significance of journalism.
