There has been a time that Digital Media was looked down by mainstream news dailies.
Even the governments are yet to recognize Digital Media as the part of Fourth Estate. But now the things seem to be turning upside down.
Many journalists and reporters have lost their jobs in mainstream media now. Some of them are suffering with huge pay cuts.
Keeping the Coronavirus impact aside, the general business of print media is not so encouraging like before. Any news daily should survive on the Ads given the government and private businesses. But even they are going Digital in recent times.
Though it proved inevitable for print media to decelerate, the Corona lockdown is speeding up its downfall.
Coming to the local scenario, the reporters are already trying to get into web media, but they are lacking in some required abilities.
The web journalists should be good at drafting the articles with meticulous proofreading, because there won't be sub editors and proofreaders here, like in traditional print media.
Those who are great in getting the news may not be good at writing and vice versa. So, only the all rounders will survive in this field now.
