DCMS Students Gain Practical Experience Through Internship with ISPR at Sargodha Garrison
Sargodha: Students of the Department of Communication and Media Studies (DCMS), University of Sargodha, recently completed an internship programme with the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) at Sargodha Garrison. The programme provided students with an opportunity to gain practical exposure to strategic communication, media relations, national security communication, and the role of the armed forces in safeguarding the country.
During the internship, the students were introduced to various functions and responsibilities of ISPR, including media management, news and information dissemination, strategic communication, public relations, and the development of counter-narratives against hostile and misleading narratives targeting Pakistan.
The students also gained insight into the professional responsibilities of Pakistan's armed forces and learned about the dedication, discipline, and commitment of soldiers who perform their duties in challenging circumstances to defend the country.
The internship further enabled students to understand the relationship between media, national security, strategic communication, and international relations. Through practical learning and interaction, students developed a better understanding of how contemporary media can contribute to informed public discourse and counter disinformation and hostile narratives.
The Department of Communication and Media Studies appreciates the cooperation and support extended by ISPR and Sargodha Garrison in providing students with this valuable learning opportunity.
The internship reflects the University's commitment to connecting academic learning with professional practice and providing students with meaningful opportunities to develop practical skills in communication, media, and strategic communication.
