“Journalism in the 21st Century: Reshape through ICT”
The impact of information technology, IT, on journalism is on the rise. Cyber networks, whether broadband, submarine cable or satellite based, give professional journalists the speediest way to send news to the newsreaders, said the Information Secretary Hedayetullah Al Mamoon. He also said ‘Most of the newspapers of Bangladesh have websites; the daily hit on the websites of leading newspapers is many times higher than their broadsheet circulation. Recently the newspapers introduced digital or e-papers, which is a new concept of newspaper marketing’. He said these while addressing as the chief guest at a seminar at DIU Auditorium.
