The innitiave: “CampusPress Hub” according to Kabir is an initiative that aims at training of students who have passion for journalism.

“We realise that many students want to practice journalism on campus but do not really have the proper training to take beyond. Also, journalism itself is all about making impact on your community and I understand clearly that my community at this present time is campus.”

Explaining how the training will be conducted, Kabir said it will be a 2-day workshop on best practices of the profession where trainees will be taught about the ABC in journalism and other core elements of the profession.

“The world has far gone beyond your course of study in school to become a journalist. There is need for proper training. Also, cosidering this era of fake news, if campus journalists are well groomed, they will prove a vehicle of virtue, truth and love. This is our aim and we believe that with the support of available platforms, we can build a better campus where student-journalists can hold their authorities accountable as provided in the constitution.

“To perfect this, we are bringing mainstream journalists from different media organizations for the training.”
