Manipal School of Communication, Manipal University, Karnataka dedicated this year’s edition of its annual extravaganza the Core Communication Festival to all martyred journalists who had died for the cause in the past year.

The event started with the inaugural function on February 19, 2015 by social activist and writer Harsh Mander. This year candles were lit in memory of the journalists who died fighting for the cause they believed in. By doing this they showed solidarity for free speech and expression, and remembering the departed souls for their immense contribution towards the field of journalism.

Event procedures at a glance:

Welcome speech by the Director of SOC, Dr Nandini Lakshmikanta
The first talk was given by Harsh Mander on how the ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity are deeply threatened in today’s times
Afternoon talk by Vidya Dinker, an environmentalist and social worker from Mangalore on environmental issues in and around Dakshina Kannada

Karthik Rajagopal, a first year SOC student said, “Social justice is an integral part of a nation. The fact that Mr Mander spoke on how the dark side of it is not taken into concern at all was something very informative.”

Cultural function organized:

A classical music performance by a group of Carnatic musicians who belong to a slum in Udupi. After the performance they expressed and shared their experience and really felt obliged to be a part of this.
