[2015 Update] Nasir Bhai’s intervention: Engaging with Media

Nasir Bhai, a  journalist, spent some time with the us and did a one day workshop for karyakartas on ‘interacting and understanding the media’. It was interesting to know the inside story of what a local block level journalist goes through.  At the end of the workshop not only did we get a hang of how to write a press release but also were more empathetic about a journalists’ work. Nasir bhai also spent a day with local journalists trying to give them a picture of development work and how a local group like the JJSS works. It has been a much happier interaction since then because there is more tolerance towards each –other since those days spent with Nasir Bhai in July.
