Training course for defense correspondents concludes in Tezpur

The successful conclusion of the crucial “Training Course for Defense Correspondents” was marked on Saturday with a closing ceremony held in Tezpur. The course was organized to enhance the in-depth understanding of journalists working in the security and defense sectors and to prepare them to tackle the challenges of modern journalism. Guests present at the ceremony noted that this initiative is a significant step toward strengthening intimate and transparent dialogue between national security and public institutions.

During the training program, experts and defense officials provided correspondents with detailed insights into defense policies, border security, anti-terrorism mechanisms, and the use of information technology in the digital age. The course placed special emphasis on the need for journalists to uphold ethics, accuracy, and national interest when reporting on the sensitive activities of security forces. In an era of rapid news dissemination through smartphones and social media, such training programs are essential for journalists to avoid misinformation and effectively present the truth.

Several senior journalists participating in the ceremony shared their experiences, stating that the course held in Tezpur not only provided them with an understanding of defense jargon but also taught them how to deliver balanced and fact-based reporting under the pressure of security situations. They noted that news from the defense sector is often a victim of misunderstanding, and therefore, such practical training enhances both the confidence and credibility of journalists.

On the final day of the program, certificates were awarded to trainees who demonstrated active participation and excellent performance throughout the course. The organizers announced that they are planning similar training programs in the future to disseminate this knowledge to a larger number of journalists. Local residents of Tezpur and members of the press corps welcomed the initiative, viewing it as the beginning of a new era of cooperation between security and journalism at the regional level. Such programs not only enhance the capabilities of journalists but also improve the quality of information reaching the public, ensuring the dissemination of accurate information in society.
