Renowned media personality and Manorama News Channel News Director, Johny Lukose, asserted that contemporary media significantly influences the public through emotion rather than factual reporting. He made these remarks during a media seminar organized by the Kerala Press Club Kuwait at the Salmiya Indian Community School.
Deviating from the principle of 'Survival of the Fittest,' today, Malayalam Media has regrettably transformed into the 'Survival of the Shameless', he stated.
Mathrubhumi News Senior News Anchor, Mathu Saji, also attending the seminar, emphasized the role of individual choice in news consumption.
The seminar commenced with a welcoming address by Saleem Kottayil, General Secretary of Kerala Press Club Kuwait, while President Sujith Sureshan presided over the event.
The program was enriched by cultural performances, including a captivating musical evening by celebrated Ghazal singer Shebi Samundar and his troupe. The audience also enjoyed a soulful solo violin performance by community school student Slania Payton and an energetic dance presentation by Team Agni.
Various community leaders, cultural activists, and prominent business figures from Kuwait attended the seminar.
