The keynote speaker stated that young people can make significant contributions to educating society, combating misinformation, and bringing about positive social change. If we want to establish ourselves and our institutions, public participation is essential. For this, a positive mindset is necessary. He emphasized that the curiosity, passion, and social engagement of young people make science and journalism impactful. Young journalists will play a major role in building a new India. Using the example of Chandrayaan-3, he noted that today, media reaches every field through some medium.
Young people are introducing new perspectives and techniques in journalism. Some individuals attempt to defame the media by spreading negativity. Social media is a good medium for obtaining information, but there is a need to analyze misinformation.
