Meet The Media Veterans

As the Mahatma once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world".

To make most of the COVID 19 lockdown, the Instructional media centre of Maulana Azad National University, Hyderabad launched a Virtual talk series "MEET THE MEDIA VETERANS" (MTMV) covering the veterans from the world of Cinema, Television, Radio, Print and Electronic media, theatre etc. Media is a public subject and the idea behind the series was to educate the general audience with various facets of the media industry.

MTMV series is one of the important digital initiatives which was launched on 18th May 2020 and was streamed live at the official FaceBook Page and available to all audience free of cost. The vision behind the series was to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy by providing an opportunity to media students and the general audience to enrich themselves with knowledge and to interact with the industry veterans whom they adore. Through this series, the industry veterans from all across the globe are being streamed live taking the audience through their journey in the industry and much more.

In this series, media veterans besides sharing their journey to the world of media also share the issues and challenges they face during their careers and provide important tips to the young aspirants regarding the profession and industry. Veterans also share important insights about the professional requirements and provide the young aspirants with an opportunity to know a particular profession.

We believe that media is a powerful tool and individuals from different communities require their due share in the media so that true versions of their stories are shared with the world. It was therefore planned to acquaint the participants with media veterans from all around the world to build their confidence in choosing media as career discipline. 33 episodes of this series have already been webcast covering media veterans from all across the globe. This series is coordinated and hosted by Director, IMC.
