From Cumilla: Former professor of Mass Media and Journalism of Dhaka University and former Chief Information Commissioner of the National Information Commission Dr. Md. Ghulam Rahman said that modern journalism is not possible without the use of technology.
"There should have a specific goal of training in journalism," he said. Today, the practice of ethical journalism faces many challenges. Students can create media content. Meanwhile, the institutional attitude towards women journalists has to be changed. We note that in recent media studies, journalists do not place as much emphasis on the teaching of morality. '
