KHULNA, Aug 12, 2025 (BSS) - Khulna University (KU) Pro-Vice-Chancellor (VC) Professor Dr. Md. Harunur Rashid Khan today said journalists must stay vigilant against misinformation.

“Journalism is the mirror of society and has a wide scope. It is a profession that requires both creativity and responsibility,” he said at the closing and certificate distribution ceremony of a three-day multimedia journalism training held at the conference room of the university’s central research laboratory as the chief guest.

“A single report can harm someone’s social status and dignity, therefore, objective reporting is essential. Journalists must check fact before publishing any news,” he added.

Later, the chief guest distributed certificates among the trainees.

Organised by the Press Institute Bangladesh (PIB), former president of KU Journalists’ Association Ekramul Haque presided over the event.  PIB assistant trainer Zilhaj Uddin Nipun and trainees Fahad Khondaker and Arpita shared their experiences.
