A media seminar which was organized by Grassroot Media Foundation at Rajasthan Hindi

Granth Academy, on Saturday, August 31, 2016. The seminar was organized on the topic of

Avinash Kalla; Mr. Shaktawat, India News; Mr. Ashwini Pareek, Investigative Journalist, First

India News; Mr. Goverdhan Choudhary, First India News and Mr. Ankit Tiwari, ETV Rajasthan.

The first session of the seminar was on ‘Media Ethics’. While speaking on the topic Mr.

Shaktawat shared the importance of ethics being a media person. He said that Media is not a

profession, it is a passion. If you follow it as a passion than only you will be able to do justice

with your work and will be able to face yourself eye to eye in the mirror. He also suggested the

students not to keep ethics aside.

In the next session, Mr. Avinash Kalla talked about the power of New Media. He shared his

experiences and said that new media is the least expensive and the fastest media to share

information. If you don’t get a chance to work in the main stream media, new media is the

strongest media platform to express your views. The students were enlightened by the hands on

experience of the Media personalities. Approximately 50 students of the department attended the

seminar.
