പെൺ/Pen Power: Media at the Crossroads
‘പെൺ/Pen Power’ is the theme for the souvenir released during the 20th National Meeting of the Network of Women in Media in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The souvenir was released at the public meeting on 7 February 2026. പെൺ/Pen Power intertwines the dual powers of women journalists. The Malayalam പെൺ (Penn), which means Woman, captures the unique challenges women journalists face and resolve. The Pen, a longstanding motif for the press, reminds us of the power of words and the responsibility of bearing witness.
