The event also featured extensive interactive discussions with students, which served to enhance their critical and analytical capabilities. This initiative aligns with the Faculty of Media’s objective to prepare informed media professionals capable of conducting rigorous academic readings of media discourse and comprehending its various political and strategic dimensions.
