Key elements of journalism were discussed in a workshop on “Working for Collective Peace and Development: How to Defeat Fake News” for Baloch journalists, organised by CRSS. The panel consisted of expert journalists who engaged in a critical discussion on how to combat fake news. The sessions covered objective journalism, ethos of journalism, motivated news and role of western media in distorting facts.
“For the past nine years, I have been living in Pakistan. Being part of different youth initiatives here has allowed me to witness the incredible warmth and hospitality of the Pakistani people, and how they empathize with young Afghans like me. The Pak-Afghan Youth Peace Initiative by CRSS has helped me realize my potential as a youth and refugee leader. I’m determined to spread the messages of peace and friendship that I am taking away from this fellowship.”
