Media as a Gateway to Employment Opportunities
The trainer and director of Ink Media, Ashish Dwivedi, highlighted the vast employment possibilities in the media sector during his session. He said,
“From news writing to establishing and managing media organizations, the field offers ample job opportunities. Media is an open sector, accessible to all, but it thrives on individual originality. While entering this field, one must ensure that their thoughts are not influenced by others. Starting with newspapers, media now encompasses print media (newspapers, magazines), electronic media (TV, radio channels), and mobile platforms, which are becoming increasingly significant. To succeed in the media industry, the ability to write and speak well is crucial, as it forms the foundation for expressing ideas effectively. Additionally, while working in media, one must keep all senses sharp – the brain, eyes, ears, tongue, and hands for writing.”
Workshop Highlights
The head of the Vivekananda Career Guidance Cell, Pratibha Jain, delivered the welcome address, shedding light on the importance of the workshop. Sandeep Sablok, while conducting the program, highlighted the significance of media as a powerful tool for society and the nation, as well as its role as a promising career option for students. Ranjana Mishra, Head of the Hindi Department, expressed gratitude during the vote of thanks.
The event witnessed the active participation of over 120 trainee students, including Jaynarayan Yadav, C.P. Singh, Chandan Singh, Bhanupriya Patel, and Akanksha Soni.
