Kohima Press Club is 24
Heralding a new chapter, the Kohima Press Club (KPC) celebrated its 24th Foundation Day at the APO Conference Hall, Kohima, with veteran journalist and Sovima Village Council Chairman, Sebastian Zumvü, as the special guest.
In her presidential address, Alice Yhoshü described the occasion as “a landmark” and announced that all KPC activities in the coming year will be part of the 25th Anniversary celebrations. She highlighted that the Executive Council has decided to launch its website, www.kohimapressclub.com, to establish the club’s online presence and enhance its credibility. “We aim to promote professionalism through the website,” she said. The website, designed by Liyo Kikon, was formally launched by Zumvü.
Yhoshü also reflected on KPC’s formation in 2001 by a few Kohima-based journalists when no proper press body existed to protect journalists’ rights. She noted, “The Kohima Press Club gradually grew over the years, and today we have 68 members representing both print and electronic media.” Paying tribute to the founding members, she credited their farsightedness for steering the club to its current standing.
