Now with attention span getting shorter by the minute in fastchanging world, the format of content in textbooks also changed say industry analysts. Education booksare adapting to online aids with digitisation making inroads, said Showick Thorpe, author of the CSAT(Civil Services Aptitude Test) Manual 2011. Thorpe, who owns the quality knowledge content brand

PRODUCT FOCUS

Journalism

Introduction Journalism is concerned with collection and dissemination of news through the printmedia as well as the electronic media. This involves various areas of works likereporting, writing, editing, photographing, broadcasting news items. Journalism in Indiahas a very vital role to play. India is the world's biggest democracy and free and vibrantpress is an essential organ of any democracy.

Career in Journalism can be broadly divided into three categories:

I. Print JournalismThis is the traditional form of journalism and includes persons working in newspapers and magazine. Theprint journalism work can be broadly divided into two streams: the field and the desk. In field work, each

field worker is allotted a special assignment in large newspapers and magazines. There are journalistsassigned to cover political issues, corporate affairs, sports, fashion and others. In desk work with in theoffices of newspapers and magazines sub-editors or copyeditors process these stories for presentation

with headlines. It is their responsibility to see that the story is objective and has no personal bias.

II. Electronic JournalismElectronic communication technology hasrevolutionized the mass communicationsystem. Now a days a large number of newschannels have proliferated and there aresignificant job opportunities in the field ofelectronic journalism. In electronics

journalism jobs can be divided into reporting,anchoring, and production.

III. Web Journalism The advent of internet has given birth to anew breed of journalism known as webjournalism and has become a competitor forprint journalism. Web journalists create content for internet. Some of the personal characteristics thatjournalists need to have is road based education, good general knowledge, keen interest in current affairs,and a style of writing that is accurate, readable, and informed.

Global Scenario

The world around has become a den of fast growing changes and evolutions. The field of journalism,which aptly reflects the transforming social scenario across the world, has also redefined itself from merereporting of news to reporting with analysis and reflection. Formerly concerned only with informingpeople about the prevailing situations, profession of journalism has now elevated to becoming a globalplatform for creating news, rather than depicting just the plain truth. The industry has undergone asignificant revolution with the advent of several new ways of communication coming up. Journalism nowcomprises of many forms of spreading news. Newspapers, media, online news bulletins and web pageshave effectively turned the face of journalism into a renewed domain. The onus lies on news agencies tostand up to the transforming social scenario by reflecting it correctly and suitably. Journalism is exploringnew trends to spread news to the readers/viewers. The multimedia options available today, such as onlinesocial networking, videos, mobile alerts, search engines, offer a wide range of choices for todays readersto choose from. Journalists today are putting best efforts to cater to the vibrancy of the present day

generation as well as the simplicity of the older generations who look for the factual information alone.

Career in journalismThe desire to make a career in journalism should go hand in hand with a strong passion for the work,ability to put in long hours, meeting editors' demands and racing against deadlines all for fairly low pay fora fresh graduate in the field. Accuracy and speed are the most sought upon traits in a journalist.

ExpectationsThe beginning salary for a new journalism graduate is US$30,000. With 10 to 19 years of experience ajournalist can potentially reach a salary of US$63,000.

Indian ScenarioThe advent of 24X7 news mediums and channels gave journalism a commercial bent which became moreprofound in recent years. Journalism has become a glamorous profession especially in a country which isdriven by one of the largest democracies in the world with rich and diverse culture. There is thus agrowing demand for competitive and innovative workforce that can cater to the contemporary demandsof Indian journalism. Ranging from live reporting to interviewing, analyzing the factual representations tothe digitalization of the analyzed news reports, journalism has now transposed into becoming one of the

most demanding fields. Employment vacancies in journalism in India are therefore increasing and turninginto a demanding arena.

Outlook A career in the field of journalism is a reputable occupation, which also promises a high wage andprofitable returns. The job has however become more demanding and challenging as the field not onlyrequires mere collection of news. Journalism in current global scenario faces challenges of dropping adrevenues in response to the economic slowdown. Therefore landing a position with a news organizationcan be a challenge, as growth in this career is moderating according to recent surveys. This has resulted inmoderation of hiring in Americas. Within the journalism as a whole, with the advent of web, printjournalism is seeing a decline while the popularity of web journalism and revenue through same isincreasing. In India with ever growing demand for apolitical and unbiased news the journalism has many

opportunities to offer for graduates in this field.ISIEmergingMarketsPDF in-bmrerix from 115.248.141.169 on 2011-06-08 01:20:32 EDT. DownloadPDF.
