Journapost is the student blog of The School Of Media And
Communications (SOMC). It was designed by the students and is exclusively run
by the students of the school. This event was held under the guidance of Prof.
Moumita De Das, the founder and the Chief Editor of Journapost.
Till date, Journapost has garnered over 70.5k viewers. The blog works as a platform to encourage the
concept of free speech and to motivate the students to become opinionated
individuals without the fear of judgement and restrictions. Journapost
surpassed all expectations and it still continues to break milestones alongwith
cherishing the memories of all its members, both current and former.

A panel discussion on ‘World Press Freedom Day’ was also organized and the panelists and the Professors both actively participated in the discussion. It was highly critical, as the panelists discussed the current situation of the Indian Media and Press Freedom and no participant was barred from speaking their minds.

Free Speech, is something that the School Of Media and Communications hold very close to their hearts. In the words of the Legendary poet Rabindranath Tagore-
‘Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where the knowledge is free………
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country
awake.’
