Congratulations from the rector of Shakarim University Duman Orynbekov on the Day of Media Workers

Dear journalists, editors, cameramen, photographers, media representatives!

On behalf of the Shakarim University team, I cordially congratulate you on your professional holiday - the Day of Media Workers of the Republic of Kazakhstan!

There are professions that shape the economy, build cities, heal people, teach children.

And there is a profession that shapes public consciousness. Journalism is just such a profession.

Every day you make decisions about what society learns about, what events will be discussed, what ideas will be heard, and what problems will be noticed and solved.

Your word has the power to unite people, build trust, support public dialogue and help the country move forward.

We are used to seeing a journalist in the frame or under a publication. But real media is always a team effort. Behind every broadcast, newspaper page, photograph, and video there are dozens of people whose names often remain unknown to a wide audience. Cameramen and photographers, editors and proofreaders, editing directors, sound engineers, designers, producers and technical specialists - it is their daily work that makes the information reliable, timely and professional. On this holiday, everyone deserves a word of gratitude who, with their skill, helps society see, hear and understand what is happening.

Today, when the information space is changing more rapidly than ever before, the responsibility of a journalist for accuracy, objectivity and professional integrity increases many times over.

For the land of Abai, the profession of a journalist has a special meaning. The power of words has always been highly valued here.

Abai educated society through words and appealed to people’s conscience.

Shakarim defended moral values ​​and human dignity through his words.

The leaders of Alash: Alikhan Bokeikhan, Akhmet Baitursynuly, Mirzhakyp Dulatov, Zhusipbek Aimauytov were not only outstanding statesmen and scientists, they were also talented publicists, newspaper editors, thinkers who understood: it is the word that can change the consciousness of the people faster than any decree.

That is why in Abai’s land today the word is perceived not as a tool, but as a responsibility - before society, before history and before future generations.

Therefore, for Shakarim University, long-term cooperation with the media is of particular value.

Thanks to your professionalism, residents of the region and the whole country will learn about the achievements of our teachers, scientists and students, scientific discoveries, educational projects, international initiatives and the transformations that are taking place at the university.

It is especially important for us that you do not just report news, but help society understand their meaning, see the future and realize the value of education, science and creative work.

We highly value open dialogue, professional feedback, objectivity and sincere interest in the development of domestic science, education and the region.

I am convinced that universities and the media are united by a common mission - to work for the future of the country, creating a culture of knowledge, responsibility, trust and creativity.

Thank you for your many years of support, for your attention to the life of the university, for your objectivity, integrity and respect for the profession.

Let your materials always resonate with readers and viewers, every published word strengthens the trust of society, and let your professional excellence, civic position and loyalty to high journalistic principles remain the main guidelines of your activities.

I wish you good health, inspiration, creative energy, interesting projects, bright reports, a grateful audience, new professional achievements and the constant respect of readers, viewers and colleagues.

Happy holiday!
