Despite the challenges, we have collectively put in the effort. From 6 am practice sessions to covering the Assembly and other news, participating in the tournament collectively as a team gives us a sense of belonging. We, media persons, live as a family.”
Another senior journalist, Abhijeet Deb, highlighted the importance of physical exercise in sports, saying, “Cricket and sports require physical activity, and it is good to engage in such activities. Outstation correspondents have decided to carry this forward, and young journalists should participate in sports to open their minds and hearts.”
Guwahati Press Club president, Susmita Goswami, emphasized the significance of sports for journalists, stating, “As journalists, we are always busy with our duties, but when we get the opportunity to participate in a media tournament, it is a positive thing. Sports not only promote physical and mental fitness but also provide an environment for friendly interactions among us. Cricket and sports are crucial for media persons.”
