Azad Jayan Chairman, IAPC (2025-2026)
Dear Esteemed Members and Friends of the Indo-American Press Club,
As we chart the course for the months ahead, I see the Indo-American Press Club stepping into a bold new era—one defined by innovation, collaboration, and impact. This is a time to not only elevate our journalistic standards but also to reimagine how we connect with communities, share stories, and inspire change. Our roadmap for the year includes a series of focused initiatives designed to build momentum and create lasting value for our members and the audiences we serve.
Foundations for the Year Ahead:
1. Innovation in Media and Storytelling
We aim to embrace new formats, digital platforms, and creative storytelling techniques to ensure our journalism stays relevant and engaging in a fast-evolving media landscape.
2. Empowering the Next Generation
By investing in young and aspiring journalists through scholarships, fellowships, and mentorship programs, we will build a strong foundation for the future of ethical and impactful journalism.
3. Community-Centered Reporting
We will elevate voices from within the Indian American and South Asian communities, focusing on underrepresented stories that deserve a platform and spotlight.
4. Global Networking and Collaboration
Creating stronger ties with media professionals across the globe to encourage cross-cultural journalism, knowledge-sharing, and international partnerships.
5. Strengthening Media Ethics and Responsibility
We are committed to fostering truth-driven, responsible journalism through regular dialogue on ethics, accuracy, and integrity—especially in today’s climate of misinformation.
6. Wellness and Work-Life Balance for Media Professionals
Acknowledging the mental and emotional strain of journalism, we plan to introduce wellness initiatives and resources to support the holistic well-being of our members.
7. Leadership in Civic Awareness and Social Impact
We will encourage our members to take an active role in shaping public opinion on important civic issues through well-researched, balanced reporting that informs and empowers communities.
