In the information age, it is necessary to provide quality information—and who can do it better than journalist—those who reach the heart of the society. It is great opportunity to speak to them (in MP).

It is nice to see an enterprising groups of people who have seen an opportunity and responded to it in the form of Media Point. What is unique about Media Point is the combination of institution with service. The concept grows and you will find good opportunity for your students in your services too. Good Luck.

The effort of Media Point is appreciable. To run journalism course in a peace where resources are scarce, is no doubt difficult. Media Point seems to be serious and organized. The contribution of Media Point is commendable especially when a country like Nepal needs trained professional journalists. I wish Media Point all success.

Today I had a very fruitful meeting to discuss the needs for future training of media professionals and training of trainers in Nepal. I found that Media Point is very focused on what they are doing and at the same time has a very qualified and broad view of the issues and problems at shite. I appreciate very much the very open and helpful discussions we had and hope for close cooperation in the future.

I wish you success in your activities.
