KEYNOTE SPEECH: " BEYOND THE BYLINE: JOURNALISM AS YOUTH WEAPON FOR POLITICAL AWARENESS

In a time where disinformation and political unrest challenge democratic values, the role of the youth in journalism becomes more vital than ever. This keynote address explores how student journalists can transcend the byline and use their platforms to spark political awareness, civic engagement, and social responsibility. By shedding light on the truth, questioning power, and amplifying marginalized voices, campus journalism becomes not just a practice—but a powerful form of youth activism. This keynote aims to inspire young writers to wield their words with courage and conviction in shaping a more informed and empowered society.
