In a bid to inspire the next generation of media professionals, the Lake House Media Academy, in coordination with the Lake House State Relations Department, conducted a one-day media training program for students studying media at the Kuliyapitiya Ruwana Education Institute. Held on October 31, 2024, the workshop attracted over a hundred enthusiastic students eager to learn the inner workings of the journalism world.
The workshop provided students with a comprehensive introduction to the essentials of the media industry, with sessions covering topics such as newspaper production, the journalist’s role in society, accurate reporting, headline creation, and digital media. Each topic was thoughtfully presented by experienced media professionals, offering students an invaluable glimpse into the responsibilities and skills essential for journalistic success.
A highlight of the event was a thought-provoking speech by Lake House Director Editorial, Mr. Sisira Yapa, who spoke on “The Role of the Journalist.” His address delved into the profound responsibilities journalists shoulder in upholding truth and accountability and encouraged students to embrace their potential roles with integrity and dedication.
