Renowned journalist Shir D P Satish was invited as the guest speaker for the Media Club, on 7th of April. The lecture was organized by the Department of Electronic Media of Bangalore University.
Shri. Satish spoke about the importance of having ideological affiliations as individuals and still being objective as journalists. He said that in India, the governments with various agendas try to control the thought process of its citizens and create an illusion of a bigger enemy. He also explained how these scenarios give rise to deliberately made up news in the media. And how the inaccurately reported news is confused with fake news.
In addition to this, Mr Satish shared anecdotes from his experience of working as a journalist in many places in India. He also advised the students to read more, irrespective of the genre and also to start working on the area in which the students aspire to work in the future.
