The School of Media and Communications, Shoolini University, organised a session with the India Representative of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Kunal Majumder.
He delivered an inspiring and thought-provoking session for media students which was focused on press freedom, ethics, and the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in journalism.
Majumder gave students a realistic picture of today’s media world, where journalists must show courage, honesty, and adaptability while working under political and digital pressure. He spoke about the importance of truth and verification, reminding students that journalism today requires not only strong storytelling skills but also resilience and responsibility.
He explained the vital work of CPJ, which supports journalists worldwide by offering legal help, emergency aid, and advocacy for those facing threats.

The discussion also covered the growing role of Artificial Intelligence in journalism. Majumder said that AI has become an important part of newsroom operations, helping in fact-checking, data analysis, and audience engagement. However, he cautioned that human judgment and ethics must always guide technology use.
