Author : Dakt Prasad Dhital and Dr. Vivek Singh

Abstract

The landscape of journalism in India has undergone a seismic shift over the past two decades. With the advent of the internet and digital communication technologies, traditional print journalism is experiencing a steady decline. This paper critically explores the factors contributing to this trend, the implications for journalistic practices, media ethics, and the business models of newspapers. It also investigates the emerging opportunities for revitalization through digital convergence. By focusing on the Indian context, the research provides a comprehensive view of how media houses are adapting, the readership trends, and the socio-political consequences of this transformation.
