He also discussed the growing influence of social media and the need for critical thinking in consuming and creating content.

For MBA and BSc.BM students, the session was particularly relevant as it connected media literacy with core business competencies such as reputation management, crisis communication, brand building, and stakeholder engagement. Mr. Giri encouraged students to develop strong communication skills, maintain ethical standards, and understand the broader social impact of business decisions in an increasingly connected world.

The interactive session allowed students to engage actively with Mr. Giri. They asked thoughtful questions on media ethics, the future of journalism in Nepal, managing public perception in business, handling misinformation, and career opportunities at the intersection of media and management. Mr. Giri provided candid, experience-based responses and practical advice that resonated strongly with the audience.
