It was really an awesome experience at the SMC, PAU. The two-week academy worth its salt. It exposed the professionals to the new approach to journalism. I commend the faculty and experts in the media industry engaged for the session for the job well done. Many thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation for the sponsorship.
