Media Tech Tips
[edit]
Journalism has been going through several major technological changes during the past few decades. The pace of these changes is quickening now, altering the practice of the profession as never before. These changes, encompass a wide range of activities from news gathering to dissemination.
Many budding journalists have asked me this question:
what are the new technological skills one should learn to cope-up with the new age journalism?
Frankly speaking, in an era of ever changing and ever improving technology, there can not be one-complete-list of such tech-skills for journalists. Also, technology changes from one media organisation to other. And, there are hardly any institution which teaches the media tech-skills. However, fundamental skills remain the same, always. Here I have tried to list out a few tech-knowledge for a print journalist.
