They gotto improve

Here in India, we journalism students complain about traffic hazards and other ridiculous reasons for not being able to get our stories done. In Sri Lanka, they can't train students properly, cos there's no proper journalism course with experienced faculty.

We students here got to know a lot about the journalism teaching methods in Sri Lanka and about the SL press as our Sir(KTO) visited the SL press club. He had given them some targets to achieve last year and this year he went for a review session(when we were in Thrissur).

Seems there was a place where a guy showed him what he called as a "new printing machine". And, our Sir almost started laughing cos he'd seen the same machine in 1964 when he was working.

The SLs will have to first improve their language and grammar skills. Then, develop some journalistic skills that will help them function in that war-ravaged-yet-beautiful country.

All this is for better journalism. For a better world.
