XIM University Hosts Annual Media Conclave

February 2, 2022: The XIM University Media & PR cell successfully concluded the Annual Media Conclave Communiqué.

"Needs Vs. Want: A Media Dilemma" was the theme of the Communiqué. Prof. Fr. S Antony Raj S J, Registrar, XIM University, Odisha, delivered the opening remarks. He discussed the ongoing conflict between wants and needs that humans face. He shared his insights on how humans are both content consumers and creators. He also discussed the media's ever-present presence and how it affects our lives.

The eminent speakers of the conclave were –

Gurbir Singh, Consulting Editor, New Indian Express

He began the conversation by describing the many media formats available to the audience in order to help them deal with the challenge of their media diet's demands and goals. As the generations progress, he stressed how the tendency has evolved from print and television to digital media outlets. He went into greater detail regarding digital media platforms, emphasising the low entry hurdles and a large range of options available to media consumers.

Nikhil Chandwani, Co-founder - NYK DAILY

He began his discussion by underlining the sentimentality of news headlines and demystifying them. He discussed how clickbait news headlines deceive consumers and the importance of having the news headline match the substance. He pointed out that the widespread use of digital platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Google search made journalistic information extremely visible. This omnipresence of content has disastrous consequences since it might produce fake news that turns out to be true.

Arushi Sana, Founder - NYK DAILY

She addressed the subject by citing Vedic literature, explaining that Dharma is based on the concepts of Artha, or material and social necessities, and Kama, or wants and desires. She stressed how Dharma is a vital component of journalism, as it is about righteous behavior and communal obligation, which is necessary for the individual's, society's, and creation's survival and welfare. She also discussed how people are consuming news as they move away from the ‘Chai-Akbaar Phenomenon’ and toward short-form news forms; at the same time, while digitization is necessary, it is also frightening because it now has the capacity to overthrow and remake governments all over the world.

B.V. Rao, Group Editor - TV9 Network

"Our goal is to tell the reader what they need, not what they want," BV Rao said at the start of his address, referencing his first editor. This remark has left an indelible impression on him, and he lives by it. He talked about social media as a source of information that can occasionally spread false information. He believes that the conventional press goes to great lengths to obtain answers and presents important journalism abilities. When releasing any material, it is critical to be fair.

The moderator opened the floor for a Q&A session after the panel discussion.

As part of the colloquium on Dare2Compete, an essay writing competition called Critiqué was held, in which students from several colleges competed. The competition's results were announced during Communiqué's closing ceremonies.
