Addressing the gathering, the Vice-Chancellor highlighted the growing challenges posed by fake news, misinformation, and disinformation in the digital era. He stressed that campus journalists must strengthen their expertise in fact-checking, digital verification, and source authentication, emphasizing that responsible journalism should always be guided by truth, logic, and ethical values.

He further noted that campus journalism serves not only as a platform for news reporting but also as a bridge connecting students with academics, researchers, administrators, industry leaders, and alumni, creating valuable professional networks for future careers.

Outgoing President Ashab Labib expressed confidence that the newly elected committee would continue the association's long-standing commitment to truthful and responsible journalism while promoting CUET's achievements nationwide.

Newly elected President Asadullah Galib reaffirmed the association's commitment to objective, impartial, and responsible reporting, while General Secretary Faiyaz Muhammad Kawsik said the organization would continue highlighting both the university's achievements and constructive issues that contribute to institutional development.

Media and technology experts observe that media literacy, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), AI-assisted fact-checking, cybersecurity awareness, and data journalism are becoming essential skills for campus journalists as digital misinformation continues to evolve.
