Brest Meeting Bridges Gap Between Pinsk Media and Aspiring Journalists A recent meeting in Brest, Belarus, brought together experienced journalists from Pinsk media outlets and students from Brest State University A.S. Pushkin's journalism program. The event, a collaborative initiative of the Main Department of Ideology and Youth Affairs of the Brest Regional Executive Committee and the university's philological faculty, aimed to foster stronger ties between educational institutions and the professional media community. The discussion was lively and engaging.

Students like Sofya Kirelyuk and Anton Kudryavtsev expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the workings of regional media.
