On 18th May, 2001 SDNP Peshawar played a pivotal role in
establishing Peshawar University's Media Research Training
Center (MRTC). The Governor of NWFP, Lt. Gen (Rtd) Syed
Iftikhar Hussain Shah inaugurated the MRTC, and also launched
the website of the Journalism and Mass Communication Department.
This department of the University of Peshawar was established
in 1985. It offers a two-year postgraduate degree for those
interested in designing a new media strategy for the state
and society keeping in view the ever-changing social fabric.
Qualified students can later establish careers in the fields
of newspapers, news agencies, magazines, journals; radio
and TV broadcasting; public dealing in the government, NGOs,
advertising agencies, business firms and managerial responsibilities
in media organizations, especially at production and control
levels. This website showcases the university's newsletter,
and a campus radio studio which is the first of its kind
in South Asia. A media directory of Pakistani print and
electronic media websites, and a list of Pakistani universities
are also available at this site. (http://www.jmc.sdnpk.org)
