The role of a journalist and media as an organization is inevitable in the time of crisis. Along with the government, administrative authorities, security, and medical professionals, the journalists are also making an impact in the spearing awareness and controlling the panic. The entry of social media, the deep penetration of internet and user-generated content overflow often hinder the workflow of a journalist in the time of any crisis in the digital world. Apart from reporting the news, there are wider possibilities and opportunities as well as a threat to information flow. The new business models are coming up and eyes on opportunities. The International Online Conference on Journalism in the times of Coronavirus aims to bring industry leaders and academic experts to discuss and share their insights on the role of media and journalists in cultural, social and political levels during the pandemic.
The conference organized is by New Media Editors Guild Of India and In-Depth Communication is co-hosting the event.
