KUCHING, May 25 — The Sarawak zone ‘Jelajah Hawana 2024 Bersama Siswa’ programme provides real insights to university students into the journalism industry by addressing relevant topics in the digital era.
“I enjoyed this programme and hope that more of such eye-opening programmes can be held in the future because the topics covered are relevant to the current journalistic landscape.“Another topic that can be explored in the future is media literacy because many people lack awareness of the importance of ensuring accuracy of the information that they read,” he said.
“I personally like current affairs and politics but I feel journalism have become a grey area that no one is willing to break into, but journalists are still required even in AI age as the human touch in spreading information, not just to do fact-checks but also make it engaging to the wider audience,” he said.
