It's a place where the students can voice their opinions, their ideas and ideals. It allows students to experience a variety of journalism types and to gain real experience that not only looks good on a resume, but can build confidence for any journalistic career.

Our students participate in University Youth Festival and short film competitions conducted by various organizations.
