Saha remarked that we are now living in an era dominated by AI and the internet. With globalization in full swing, it is essential for journalists to keep themselves informed. News must be presented with honesty and integrity, adapting to the changing times.
Speaking at the inauguration of the two-day biennial state conference and journalists’ workshop organized by the Tripura Working Journalists Association, Saha highlighted this year’s workshop theme: “Embrace Change.”
