The Plight Of Media Industry And Journalists

It all started when we entered the Press Release Distribution Industry a few years ago. We began publishing PR News articles for our clients via various wire services. After analysing a few PR publication reports, we found out that most of the publications were not made on authoritative and high-traffic generating news channels. Most of these news channels were low traffic websites and there were many post-publication issues. Not just that, the wire agencies would showcase their own logo at the beginning of the news article.

Unsatisfied, we analysed the print media industry further. We found out that impactful news publication is beyond the reach of a budding startup or an SME with a restricted budget. We also saw the plight of a few journalists who were working day in and day out on the field but were getting paid peanuts for the same. Some others started their local news channels which were shut down for lack of operational costs.

Lately, journalism had started to become a biased branding tool for influencing individuals and sections of society. Mass media seemed to drift away from the very idea of its creation – communication. With many torchbearers in the industry leaning towards one side or the other, the media that was once synonymous with information dissemination, most of it has reduced to just political analogies, hate-mongering prime times and exhaustive analysis of videos viral online.

This motivated us to venture into journalism and start our own news network that is free from any bias, affiliation, gain or motive. The fuel to our passion is empowering meaningful and positive journalism.

We are also working on special edition news coverage from Kashmir – Dil-Paziir. DilPaziir is an urdu word meaning heart-pleasing.  Our local journalists have successfully shared many inspirational stories from the valley – from the invention of E-Charkha to organizing the first-ever cricket tourney for Blind sportsmen, all the stories make us awe-struck.
