Islamabad : Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry, has said that media is not an ordinary profession but a sacred national trust, stating that nations which wield truth as their weapon are the ones who write history.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony of Media Fest Spring 2026 at Bahria University Islamabad as the chief guest, he announced 20 internship positions for Bahria University students, reaffirming that bringing youth into the practical professional arena remains a top government priority.

Barrister Danyal highlighted that in an era flooded with misinformation and negative narratives, responsible and conscientious journalism is nothing short of a revolution. “A single truthful and honest news story has the power to transform the thinking of an entire nation”.

Acknowledging the dedication of media students, he noted that several alumni of Bahria University are already serving in prominent roles at major television channels and public media organisations. He praised platforms such as Media Fest for providing young people with opportunities for new ideas, creative thinking, and positive expression.
