The book provides insight to a student of journalism and mass communication in understanding the world of a fast-changing media landscape. It also provides instructions in the practical aspects of journalism—writing, reporting, editing, taking an interview for the mainstream media as well as writing for technical publications. The book will acquaint a reader with the newsroom—how journalists run a newspaper, gather news, edit and design the pages and finally put the edition to bed. It will tell the reader all about magazines—working in a magazine, niche magazines and how these are coping with the onslaught of 24-hour news beamed through television channels and the internet. With advancement in communications technology and convergence with media, the reader also gets an understanding of how the social media platforms and the smartphone have changed the nature of news. The book talks about the fake news, misleading news and the increasing pressure on mainstream journalists to combat misinformation. On the other hand, we have news organisations establishing fact-checking departments and even concerned individuals spending time to ensure that the media and social media platforms remain free of fake news and misleading forwards.
