Informed, Not Influenced | Md Saqlain Jameel | TEDxSt Pauls College
In an age of constant noise, the difference between being informed and being influenced is critical. This talk emphasizes the need for critical thinking, media literacy, and independent judgment in navigating information. By questioning sources, recognizing biases, and valuing truth over trends, individuals can empower themselves to make choices based on knowledge, not manipulation. Md Saqlain Jameel is a journalist, digital marketer, educator, and podcaster whose career bridges traditional reporting and modern digital storytelling. As Editor-in-Chief of NewsHamster, one of India’s fastest-growing youth-centric news platforms, he has led the platform to over 3 billion views in 2024 and launched the innovative NH Unscripted podcast. He is also the founder of LBX Studios, a Bengaluru-based digital marketing firm known for its strategic work in both brand and political communications.
