By Kishore Budha • Nov 11th, 2007 • Category: Announcements

From Daily Times Pakistan:

SAFMA’s first South Asian Media Centre (SAMC) has begun offering an 8-week course in TV journalism to the students from SAARC nations. The South Asian Free Media Association Secretariat has been shifted to the new premises at 177-A Shadman-II, Lahore situated off FCC underpass on Canal Road.

The centre has an auditorium for showing films, documentaries and live performances to select gatherings of experts for discussion and media projection. Dr Hassan Askari, Rita Manchanda, Najam Sethi, Khalid Ahmed, Salima Hashmi, Sharmini Boyle, Vinod Dua, Ivor Gaber, Shoaib Hashmi, Talat Hussain and Zafar Abbas are among the teachers delivering lectures to the first batch.

A whispering café has been set up at the centre to provide journalists, intellectuals and political leaders with a place to sit together, conceive and beget ideas and solutions and share their experiences.
