Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday urged the journalist community to adapt to the modern requirements of the profession. She expressed these views while addressing the participants of a two-day training workshop on mobile journalism at the Information Service Academy (ISA). The information minister highlighted the ways in which electronic and social media have changed and emphasised that ‘mobile journalism’ has assumed more importance as it has sped up the news coverage. Organisations affiliated with the information ministry including PTV, APP and Radio Pakistan were taking steps to bring their reporters in line with modern requirements, she added. “In 2018, we created the entire curriculum of the Information Service Academy,” Marriyum said, adding it was the need of the hour to equip the ISA with modern technology. There should be virtual training for the officers of the Ministry of Information and Pakistani missions abroad, the minister remarked. She said she was glad to see a large number of women in the mobile journalism training workshop as women were in no way behind male journalists. "Women should be encouraged in every field." A two-day training workshop on 'mobile journalism' was organised by the press information department. The closing ceremony was attended by Principal Information Officer Mubashir Hassan, Director General Information Service Academy Saeed Javed, press club officials and a large number of journalists. Marriyum Aurangzeb also distributed certificates among the participants of the training workshop.
