circulations increasing in great numbers and television news channelsin
both English and regional languagesgoing up by the day. Internet news portals,
too, are recording a good number of hits.
Journalism, then, holds tremendous promise for both seasoned and budding journalists.
However, behind every promise, there lurk dangers and temptations, which must
be scrupulously avoided if the basic values of the profession are to be safeguarded.
Otherwise, the relentless spotlight of criticism will turn on journalism and
its practitioners.
21st Century Journalism in India is a path-breaking book that looks at the
practices and theories of journalism in the 21st century. This collection of
writings by practising journalists is perhaps unique in that they have turned
the spotlight on their own profession.
The volume is thematically divided into four sections:
- REPRESENTING THE UNREPRESENTED deals with media representation (or lack of
it) of largely ignored sections of society, such as homosexuals, Dalits and
other minorities or weaker groups.
- THE PLURALITY OF PRACTICE studies the coverage of vital areas such as economics,
legal issues, science, arts and culture, and humour.
- MEDIA IN PERSPECTIVE looks at different kinds of journalistic practices, including
photojournalism
- FUTURE TRENDS discusses newer forms of journalism, like blogging and citizen
journalism.
