I always wondered how the West are taking journalism in all its avtars very serious.

India has to its credit a lot of bold, bright journalists even in the days of pre independence.

But the young are taking the career cool. It is a matter of concern and the effects will be felt only after a few decades. The freshers who have the urge to train and pursue journalism as a serious career are handful in numbers. Even if anyone is interested they look at the TV and the multimedia not at the mightier pen!

But if one is passionate, the field of writing, journalism and the career will keep him lively for his lifetime! The learning opportunities are immense. And if he wants to update himself with the latest technology in this field, he should just go online.

I guess these are all my opinions.

For a career, you require  certain jobskills or acquire them as you train.

Here is a debate on the jobskills for newspapers! What’s your opinion?
