With the field of journalism undergoing a drastic change with the advent of digital media, the budding journalists should equip themselves with mult-tasking skills, Former Chairman of Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, Karnatak University, Prof. A.S. Balasubramanya said.
Speaking at the Media Skill Development Workshop organised by Dharwad District Union of Working Journalists (DDUWJ) in association with Karnatak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) in Hubballi on Sunday, he said that because of the changing scenario in the field of journalism, it has become inevitable for those aspiring to become journalists to learn multi-tasking.
Elaborating on the challenges in media, he said that gone are the days when editors used to take decisions in print media. Now, most of the newspapers are being headed by CEOs who prefer shots. As print and electronic media has almost attained the structure of industry, making profit or at least making the media house viable has become crucial in order to sustain, he said.
