सुभाष धूलिया पहले हमने पांच ‘डब्‍ल्‍यू’ और एक ‘एच’ यानी छह ककारों की चर्चा की है। दरअसल, समाचार लेखन में घटनाओं और इनसे संबंधित तथ्‍यों के चयन की प्रक्रिया का महत्‍वपूर्ण स्‍थान होता है। देश-दुनिया में रोज हजरों-लाखों घटनाएं घटती हैं लेकिन इनमें से कुछ ही समाचार बन पाती हैं। यूं तो हमने किसी घटना के सामचारीय होने के कारकों को भी जिक्र किया है लेकिन समाचार जगत की चयन की प्रक्रियाएं इतनी विविध, कठिन, और जटिल हैं कि उनके कारणों को स्‍पष्‍ट रूप से चिन्हित करना लगभग असंभव है। समाचार लेखन के बारे में भी मौटे तौर पर हम…

Pranav Malhotra We are told that those in Silicon Valley do not let their children use any social media. Not only does this gloss over how young people can make positive social connections online, it does not offer parents any productive advice about the conversations they may have with their children on issues like media literacy and privacy protection.Toward the end of Netflix’s new documentary-drama The Social Dilemma, former Google employee Tristan Harris describes technology as “simultaneous utopia and dystopia.” This quote encapsulates the focus of the film: It primarily plays up well-worn dystopian narratives surrounding technology, with a sprinkling of…

Bhavesh Chhipa In the era of digital journalism, newspapers are losing their readers because readers are shifting to digital portals like websites, YouTube, media applications, and many more.
