Testimonials
Through our School of Mass Communication, we recently contacted Newshound India Foundation, and thereafter, Mr. Arjun conducted an intensive session with our students and our many students subsequently joined his non-profit Student Journalist initiative. Some students' contribution is already with the platform and many are lined up to join with their unique 'beat' which I am sure will be delivered by my students very well. All the best Newshound India Foundation - Audience needs this initiative and it is the apt time.
~ Dr. Ashutosh Mishra Dean, School of Mass Communication, Chitkara University
The initiative of Newshound India Foundation to provide hands-on training to media students while they are still pursuing their formal education is unique. This will help students to enrich their portfolios on one hand and on the other hand they are also getting paid for their work. Arjun Samar has motivated the media students of our Institute to come up with a story idea, give it a shape and see it being displayed on Newshound platform as a story of Student Reporter, the concept itself is very unique. My best wishes to this alternative media platform- Newshound for all the future endeavours and hope it continues doing meaningful journalism.
~ Prof. (Dr.) Bindu Sharma Director, Institute of Mass Communication & Media Technology, Kurukshetra University
