Conflux-08, state level media fest hosted
by MFGC
The department of communication and journalism
of Mahajana First Grade College successfully hosted a two-day
State-level media festival, Conflux-08 on October 15 and 16
for the students of journalism and mass media all over the state.
Speaking after inaugurating CONFLUX-08, this two-day State-level
media fest for upcoming journalists organised at Vivekananda
Hall in the College premises Aravinda Limbavali, Minister for
Higher Education observed that the notices and circulars issued
by the government take a long time in reaching the concerned
departments and the people. But the journalists work by gathering
news with lightning speed and publishing them to reach the people
the very next morning. "Newspapers play a vital role in
publicizing the decisions and policies of the government thus
educating the society" he added.
Also speaking on the occasion, K. Shivakumar, President, Mysore
District Journalists Association (MDJA), suggested that journalism
course should be started in rural colleges also to help the
students there to excel in mass communication. On the occasion
he released the college newsletter Vichara.
Noted Ganjifa artist Raghupathi Bhat was felicitated by the
Minister.
Over 250 journalism students from various colleges in the State
participated in the two-day fest featuring various competitions
like mock press conference, programmes related to writing headlines,
documentary film-making, public relations and newscasting were
held as part of the festival.
