#Watch | Life School Hosts Media Workshop Honouring Journalist Mudasir Ali, Inspiring Next Generation of Reporters

Charari Sharief (Budgam): Life School Kashmir hosts special media workshop to commemorate the legacy of renowned journalist Mudasir Ali, bringing together leading voices from local, national, and international media to mentor and inspire young students. The event also marked the first anniversary of the Mudasir Ali Podcast Studio, an audio-visual lab established at the school to carry forward Ali’s unwavering commitment to ethical, courageous journalism.

Mudasir Ali, a senior editor at Greater Kashmir who passed away in November 2020, was widely respected for his deeply reported work on Jammu & Kashmir’s politics, conflict, and environment. His stories appeared in national and international publications including The Wire, Foreign Policy, and The New Humanitarian.

Through hands-on sessions, interactive discussions, and one-on-one mentorship, students received foundational training in:
News gathering and reporting, Media ethics, Equipment handling and production basics, critical thinking and narrative accountability.

The workshop brought together an impressive lineup of journalists, including Muzaffar Raina of The Telegraph, former CNN-IBN J&K bureau chief Mufti Islah, Times of India special correspondent Naseer A. Ganai, Greater Kashmir Health Editor Zehru Nissa, Greater Kashmir's senior editor Nazir Ganaie, senior writer and book critic Majid Maqbool, and writer-journalist Zahid Rafiq.

Students from the first cohort of the Mudasir Ali Podcast Studio engaged with the journalists in group activities, informal conversations, and a Q&A session, gaining firsthand insight into the profession’s challenges and responsibilities.

Life School chairman and J&K Private School Association chief Baba Nazrul Islam reflected on his long association with Mudasir Ali, describing him as a committed journalist and a compassionate human being.

“The aim of establishing this studio was to ensure society continues to produce journalists like Mudasir, who upheld the cardinal principle of objectivity,” he said. “We can’t fill the void left by Mudasir’s departure, but we will strive to keep his memory alive. This workshop is the beginning of a journey that will not only sharpen the skills of our students but also help them grow as better human beings.”

Akash Dutt, a Teach To Elicit fellow who trained the selected students throughout the year, likened the role of the media to a society’s immune system.
“Just as the immune system identifies threats to keep the body healthy, responsible media identifies bias and propaganda to keep a society informed,” he said. “My goal wasn’t just to teach the students how to hold a camera but how to hold a narrative accountable.”

Honouring Mudasir’s spirit
A felicitation ceremony, chaired by Life School principal Gulafrose, concluded the day-long workshop.

Mudasir’s brother, Jehangir Ali, J&K correspondent for The Wire, expressed gratitude to the visiting journalists and writers for spending time with the students.

“Your guidance and presence mean a great deal to us and to the young reporters who look up to you,” he said.

The workshop, and the continuing work of the Mudasir Ali Podcast Studio, stands as a powerful tribute to a journalist whose work and values continue to shape and inspire the next generation.

Remembering one of our hero journalists, Mudasir Ali. Today, we pause to honour the legacy of Mudasir Ali , a journalist whose work was not just reporting, but a form of public service.

This heartbreaking video of a mother’s desperation to walk hundreds of miles from Kashmir to Kot Bilawal Jail in Jammu just to see her imprisoned son shows the silent suffering of families whose loved ones are kept in far away prisons. It’s why I approached the Honourable High Court to request that undertrials be shifted to their native jails so families can visit them with dignity and support their legal fight. Hoping for a compassionate view.

‘National Conference has failed to fulfil the bare minimum expected of it. Whether it is reservation, unemployment, electricity, or governance, it has used the excuse of not having statehood to hide its inability to fulfil its electoral promises.’

Umar Khalid behind bars over five years without conviction under UAPA is granted bail for THIRTEEN days to attend his sister’s wedding. Does one pretend this is justice? Effusively grateful to Milords 🙏 Or does truth in the guise of sarcasm constitute contempt of court?

[Mehbooba Mufti @MehboobaMufti]

Tragic & puzzling that Umar Khalid had to wait five years just to get a 13 day parole to attend his sister’s wedding while convicts like Gurmeet Singh guilty of rape and murder walk in and out on repeated paroles. The contrast is glaring. This disparity exposes a troubling inconsistency and bias in our justice system.
