In the second part of his series on the future of journalism, Apurv points out how Indian journalism schools, media houses, and media persons are all rather behind in their understanding of how ways of digital storytelling can work for news reporting. One of the most telling points he makes is about “new media” courses still teaching Dreamweaver. It’s true! I’ve been through that part myself. Apurv points out that in a few years, journalism may not be about writing any more and any media professional under 40 will live to see his entire skill set become obsolete. Alarmist you say? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
