Description
The Centre for Excellence in Journalism (CEJ) at IBA celebrated its 10th anniversary at IBA’s City Campus, reflecting on a decade of training and innovation in Pakistani journalism. Since its founding in 2015 under a US State Department grant, CEJ has conducted extensive training in digital reporting, data journalism, investigative techniques, and crisis communication. The event featured acknowledgments of CEJ’s founding leadership, video messages from global well-wishers, and two panel discussions on AI in Pakistani newsrooms and censorship threats.
Panelists highlighted challenges such as the lack of AI literacy and policies in newsrooms, the ethical use of AI, and the risk of misinformation. Others emphasized that censorship continues to undermine press freedom, but journalists remain resilient and committed to transparency. The US Consul General in Karachi praised CEJ’s role in shaping future journalists, while CEJ leadership reiterated its mission of building not only skills but also courage in the profession.
