Gurbir Singh, Consulting Editor, New Indian Express

He began the conversation by describing the many media formats available to the audience in order to help them deal with the challenge of their media diet's demands and goals. As the generations progress, he stressed how the tendency has evolved from print and television to digital media outlets. He went into greater detail regarding digital media platforms, emphasising the low entry hurdles and a large range of options available to media consumers.

Nikhil Chandwani, Co-founder - NYK DAILY

He began his discussion by underlining the sentimentality of news headlines and demystifying them. He discussed how clickbait news headlines deceive consumers and the importance of having the news headline match the substance. He pointed out that the widespread use of digital platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Google search made journalistic information extremely visible. This omnipresence of content has disastrous consequences since it might produce fake news that turns out to be true.

Arushi Sana, Founder - NYK DAILY

She addressed the subject by citing Vedic literature, explaining that Dharma is based on the concepts of Artha, or material and social necessities, and Kama, or wants and desires. She stressed how Dharma is a vital component of journalism, as it is about righteous behavior and communal obligation, which is necessary for the individual's, society's, and creation's survival and welfare. She also discussed how people are consuming news as they move away from the ‘Chai-Akbaar Phenomenon’ and toward short-form news forms; at the same time, while digitization is necessary, it is also frightening because it now has the capacity to overthrow and remake governments all over the world.

B.V. Rao, Group Editor - TV9 Network

"Our goal is to tell the reader what they need, not what they want," BV Rao said at the start of his address, referencing his first editor. This remark has left an indelible impression on him, and he lives by it. He talked about social media as a source of information that can occasionally spread false information. He believes that the conventional press goes to great lengths to obtain answers and presents important journalism abilities. When releasing any material, it is critical to be fair.

The moderator opened the floor for a Q&A session after the panel discussion.

As part of the colloquium on Dare2Compete, an essay writing competition called Critiqué was held, in which students from several colleges competed. The competition's results were announced during Communiqué's closing ceremonies.

Great college, campus, course, and faculty, but average people.

Placements: Every student who has pass-out from XLS gets placed in a great firm or corporation, like Amazon, Amarchand Mangaldas, Khaitan & Co., etc. The course not only makes us lawyers but also prepares us for the outside world, making us logical and financially well-off.

The best college from my experience.

Placements: We have a summer internship at the end of the first year. Placements are up to the mark and as desired. The average package is around 11 LPA - 15 LPA in a batch of 360 students. Some companies are regular recruiters like Godrej, Loreal, PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, Hero, Maruti Suzuki, etc. My summer internship is at Star Media Group with a stipend of Rs. 30,000 per month in Mumbai. All expenses are born by the company.

I'm satisfied with infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: I’m not exactly sure yet, but I’ll have to ask my seniors. Many exciting internship firms visit or college. It shows mostly a 100% placement guarantee but to know, I need to ask my seniors about it. I think one can also find more about it on LinkedIn.

Dissatisfied about placements.

Placements: The placements of my college are really bad, no placements are offered from the college. Only a student cell is present that tries to bring companies, but mostly unknown companies come and don't hire anyone. MBA placements are good.
