Workshops on ‘Citizen Journalism’
IPS LEAD – the Learning, Excellence and Development Program of Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), Islamabad, in collaboration with Pakistan Youth Change Advocates (PYCA), organized a couple of two-day workshops on ‘Citizen Journalism’, for male and female students of media sciences/mass communication separately, on July 28-29 and August 1-2, 2016.
The workshop was part of IPS LEAD’s efforts to actively engage and capacitate the youth of Pakistan – which forms more than 60 per cent of the country’s population – in promoting policy-oriented research, dialogue and knowledge creation for nation building and progress.
The training, it is hoped, would go a long way in capacitating the students for effective and meaningful citizen journalism and providing the young people with a platform for information sharing with a larger national and international audience.
