We have moved from the middle ages because of technology and the ease of communication due to technology has been the most remarkable transformation that we have seen which directly impacts the profession of journalism, Ayaz Memon, senior journalist and columnist said.
Delivering the Lawrence Dana Pinkham Memorial lecture 2022 on ‘Benefits and Challenges for the media in the age of technology’ at the Convocation of the Asian College of Journalism Class of 2021-22, Mr. Memon said technology has secularised and democratised the digital platforms and has put the onus on professional journalists to navigate through this ocean of information while remaining relevant.
Mr. Memon also said there was unequal importance given by some journalists to tweets as basis for their stories. “This is a source of concern. This is the laziest form of journalism,” he said.
