Learning through the curves of journalism at New Age

Abstract

The following report is a personal reflection of my internship at New Age through which I have documented the process and progress of the three-month long internship at this daily. It includes my tasks, challenges and my learning. The report is organized in four chapters. The introductory chapter of this report enunciates a brief history of the daily New Age, the formats and rules adopted by this daily and their objectives. I have also written about the different segments of this newspaper here. The second chapter documents my experience and learning at New Age, where I was assigned in three different departments and had undertaken different tasks. Furthermore, I have discussed the techniques of writing obituaries, editing, translating and caption writing. The third chapter looks at the concept of journalism and analyses how it affects the present world, followed by a discussion on the interplay between media, globalization and formation of opinion. In the fourth and final chapter, I have concluded my reflection by documenting what I have learned from my internship at New Age.
