From Salim Umar Ibrahim, Kano
The Students of Al-Bayyinah Basic and Tahfeedh School in Kano visited the Kano regional office of Media Trust Group; publishers of Daily Trust, Aminiya, Teen Trust Newspapers and Trust TV.
The students who were on an excursion chose the regional office to explore the rudiments of news gathering, publishing and other aspects of newspapers production and broadcasting.
Received by the Regional Editor, Ibrahim Giginyu and other senior management Staff, the students were tutored and taken across all departments and sections of the company for both theoretical, practical and technical aspects of news gathering, editing and newspaper production.
Also, the company being transformed into a full blown multimedia conglomerate, the students were exposed to the convergent face and aspect of the company.
While appreciating the effort of both their school and the company in exposing them to the rare knowledge, the students demonstrated deep concern in learning and putting it into practice.
Some of them, at the instance of getting to know key components of the company, have developed interest in becoming journalists in the future.
While some of the students have been contributors to the weekly edition of Teen Trust, they however, pledge to be ardent readers and subscribers while putting more effort in contributing to the newspaper so as to become better writers and start honing the skills.
