“A single truthful and honest news story has the power to transform the thinking of an entire nation,” he added while addressing students, faculty members, and media professionals present in the festival.
Barrister Danyal Chaudhry said that media students will play a crucial role in shaping Pakistan’s image and narrative in the years ahead.
Danyal Chaudhary also highlighted Pakistan’s demographic profile by saying that more than 60% of the country’s population consists of young people, adding that today’s media students would become tomorrow’s journalists, producers and opinion leaders.
He said these future professionals would bear the responsibility of presenting Pakistan’s true image to audiences at home and abroad.
The parliamentary secretary urged students to focus on the social impact of their work rather than pursuing ratings or viral trends.
He said meaningful journalism that contributes to positive social change should be regarded as the real measure of success.
He also told participants that Pakistan Television (PTV) Corporation was already offering internship opportunities for students and that the government was working to expand such programmes to provide greater opportunities for aspiring media professionals across the country.
