The workshop and seminar is an effort to focus on the increasing
communalization of society through out the Karavalli
belt - the situation continues to remain communally
tense with an incident of violence being reported every
single day from the region. Media has a potential
to effectively intervene in the public discourse during
times of communal conflict, When infused with secular voices and with
a realization of its responsibility, the media plays an important role
in diffusing myths, misconceptions and hatred that is propogated in society
by communal forces.
The seminar and workshop is geared to address students,
young journalists and activists in the attempt to
understand the slow communalization of the public
sphere through mainstream media.
