We need to go beyond the headlines. We really need to strengthen the community media, especially the radio sector. When youth have a platform to talk about their issues, we can inspire them to share their perspectives and become active storytellers of their own communities, said Prof Kanchan K Malik, Professor at University of Hyderabad.
The expert speaker was responding to a question by the Yuva sustainability intern on how storytelling through mass media and social platforms can inspire and empower rural citizens and youth, during the 2nd Yuva Sustainability Webinar on Telling Climate and Disaster Stories Right.
