Digital Literacy is Must in this Age of Misinformation-Sandeep Marwah at 10GFJN

Speakers at 10th Global Festival of Journalism Noida 2022

New Delhi: Digital literacy refers to an individual’s ability to find, evaluate, and clearly communicate information through typing and other media on various digital platforms. It is evaluated by an individual’s grammar, composition, typing skills and ability to produce text, images, audio and designs using technology initiated Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of 10th Global Festival of Journalism Noida 2022 during  the 5th session on second day.

“Digital literacy is the ability to navigate various digital platforms and understand, assess and communicate through them. When you read a book on a Kindle, consider the accuracy of a news report linked in your social media newsfeed or create and share a YouTube video, you are displaying digital literacy,” added Dr. Yogendra Narain former Secretary General Rajya Sabha & Chancellor of HNBG University.

The five important skills any one would like to see in Digital literacy are Independent research, Familiarity with terms and common platforms, Collaboration, Adapting to new technology, Teaching or explaining technologies you use expressed Onkeshwar Pandey CEO Observer Global Media Group.

 Digital literacy means being able to understand and use technology. Digital literacy skills allow you to find, use & create info online in a productive & useful way. Having an understanding about digital literacy means you’re able to use technology safely and it helps you avoid its dangers said Arun Kumar Tripathi senior journalist.

 In digital media, by contrast, you’re no longer the final link in a distribution chain but a node in the middle of an infinite network. You can share content with other people as easily as a producer or distributor shares it with you. Collaboration and dialogue are the norm, rather than solitary creation and broadcasting explained Sahar Zaman   News Editor and founder Hunar TV.

Digital content is permanent: everything that is transmitted is stored somewhere and can be searched for and indexed. When considered together with the concept that digital media are networked, this means that most of this content can also be copied, shared or spread at a trivial cost pointed out by Prof. Ujjwal Chowdhury Secretary Global Media Education Council.

 Garima Singh senior Journalist, Manish Pandey Brand Consultant & Social Media Evangelist, Mitali Swamkar of Network 18, Sushil Bharti of Radio Noida, Dr. Shiv Kumar Prof. at AAFT School of Mass Communication & Journalism, Deepak Dubey President Pranam Bharti, also spoke on the occasion.

Citizen Journalism Awards at 10th Global Festival of Journalism Noida

Citizen Journalism Award at 10th Global Festival of Journalism Noida

New Delhi: A panel discussion was organised to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Citizen Journalism during the third session of 10th Global Festival of Journalism Noida 2022. Dr. Sandeep Marwah President Marwah Studios initiated the discussion by introducing the definition of Citizen Journalism that it is based upon public citizens “playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing, and disseminating news and information.

Citizen journalism, also known as collaborative media, participatory journalism,  democratic journalism, guerrilla journalism or street journalism explained Komal Nahata renowned journalist from Mumbai.

“Citizen journalism was made more feasible by the development of various online internet platforms. New Media technology, such as social networking and media sharing websites,   in addition to the increasing prevalence of cellular telephones, have made citizen journalism more accessible to people worldwide added K.L.Ganju

 Consul General of the Republic of Comoros.

Being that Citizen journalism is yet to develop a conceptual framework and guiding principles, it can be heavily opinionated and subjective, making it more supplemental than primary in terms of forming public opinion,” said Ram Prasad Subedi, Charge d’ Affairs, Embassy of Nepal.

Citizen journalism, as a form of alternative media, presents a “radical challenge to the professionalized and institutionalised practices of the mainstream media,” explained Prof. Karl Bardosh of Tisch School of Arts, New York University, USA.

“Social Media platforms such as blogs, You Tube,  and Twitter encourage and facilitate engagement with other citizens who participate in creating content through commenting, liking, linking, and sharing. The majority of the content produced by these amateur news bloggers was not original content, but curated information monitored and edited by these various bloggers,” expressed Ravi Parashar, Senior Journalist.

Sanjay Goswami Head Services Sector Bureau of Indian Standards, Vinod Sharma Senior Journalist, Dr. Indrajit Ghosh Chairman MSMECCII, Dr. Gaurav Guptaa Chartered President Delhi Veg Lions Club, Vipin Gaur Secretary General NAI, Dr. Sushil Bharti Head Radio Noida 107.4FM and Ashok Tyagi Sec.
