Vast Teaching Experience
After decades of work in the field of journalism, it was only natural for Sudhakar to pass on the knowledge he has gained from his experience. As a Fact-check trainer with Google news initiative India network, he has conducted many workshops where he trained journalists and students on tackling fake news in the new digital age. In March 2019, ahead of the elections, he trained around 150 journalists from across the state on ‘Google poll check’ to ensure that poll reporting was fair and unbiased.
Sudhakar has also served as a guest faculty member at several colleges, including Osmania University, St. Francis College, St. Joseph’s College, and the University of Hyderabad where he hopes to inspire the next generation of young and fearless journalists.
Sudhakar has been a guest faculty member in several esteemed universities, including NALSAR University of Law, University of Hyderabad’s Sarojini Naidu Journalism School, Osmania University, Telugu University, St. Pious Degree and PG College, St. Francis Degree College, Rachana College of Journalism and Sakshi School of Journalism. He was visiting faculty member at St Joseph’s College in Hyderabad where he taught a course on print journalism, similar to his post at Dr BR Ambedkar Open University, Hyderabad.
