Summary: "Online news take place on various online platforms and can be defined as digital news. Indians are increasingly turning to search engines and mobile news aggregators(43%) (online platforms or software devices that collect news stories) as their primary sources of online news, moving away from traditional news websites. Only 12% prefer reading news from direct sources, i.e. newspapers, while 28% prefer social media for news reading. Prefer watching or listening to news content over reading it. The journalism industry doesn't look the way it did a decade ago. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates an 11% decrease in journalism jobs by 2029,adding to the industry's sharp decline. The only constant is change. Future reporters may see themselves becoming their own brand, self-financing blogs or websites through subscription-based models. And it doesn't change the fact that being proficient in multimedia, strong communication skills and morality in reporting continue to be the keys to success. Journalists in the digital age-much like those that preceded them-must continue to ask the tough questions, report with empathy and compassion and continue to shine alight on uncomfortable topics. In this exciting and timely book provides a wide-ranging analysis of online news. This book is appropriate for scholars, researchers, and students in journalism, mass communication, new media, and related areas, and will be of interest to anyone examining how people use the web as a source for news." -- Back cover
