New Delhi: “I extend my heartiest congratulations to ICMEI and Sandeep Marwah on the successful launching of 9^th Global Festival of Journalism 2021. It is celebration of journalism. I am impressed by this most exclusive kind of festival meant to bring love, peace and unity through journalism,” said H.E. Hidayat Abdul Hamid High Commissioner of Malaysia to India in a message sent for the international event.

“The only constant thing in this world is The Change. Media had to change its ways, means, style, methods because of pandemic. Whereas the response was equally good and people of this earth molded themselves in these last eleven months of Pandemic. This year we have learned ample new things, changed our habits and the whole thinking process has brought the people of this world close to each other,” said Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios and 9^th GFJN.

“Sometimes the public seeks opinion and analysis of complicated issues. Providing such opinions and analysis is another important function performed by the media. The evolution of the media has been fraught with concerns and problems. Accusations of mind control, bias, and poor quality have been thrown at the media on a regular basis. Yet the growth of communications technology allows people today to find more information more easily than any previous generation,” initiated Abdul Mohd. Dewale President of Africa Asia Scholars Global Network, UK.

 “Never before in human history has it been possible to communicate so quickly during a pandemic, social media platforms have been a key piece for the dissemination of information; however, there are multiple advantages and disadvantages that must be considered. Responsible use of these tools can help quickly disseminate important new information, relevant new scientific findings, share diagnostic, treatment, and follow up protocols, as well as compare different approaches globally, removing geographic boundaries for the first time in history,” added Dr. Yogendra Narain Chancellor Hemvati Nandan Bhaguna University.
