Earlier, addressing the workshop, Dr. Jamal Uddin, In- Charge of the Department of Media & Communication Studies, said that social media, which is an interactive platform for individuals, can be used positively when the users, especially students, take care of the cultural norms and values on one side and apply the journalistic values on the other.
