Career as a Digital Creator?
Ever since I passed out of my school I wanted to do something that would build my personality and will make me grow as a person in terms of knowledge and exposure both. That was the time when I decided to go for Journalism and Mass Communication because I realized that this is the only course that will help me with my Aim. Now you’d ask what exactly is my aim? Well I aspire to become a Digital Journalist. Ask me why? A Digital Journalist because this is the age of New Media. People have started shifting to new media gradually over the past two decades for their mode of information. This is happening because the fast moving life of the people that is letting it happen. They do not have time to sit in the living room watching the screen day and night to gain the information about the events and issues going around in our country.
Today people have switched to mobile phones for their access to information and this shift from traditional to new age media has brought a massive evolution in our society. These days digital content is gaining more popularity than the traditional one that appears on the television screen or the newspapers. There are so many independent journalists, creators, artists etc who have made a major following on social media like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter over the past few years. Because I wanted to do this I also started creating my own Video Content in the form of informative videos on YouTube this year. As I started doing this on my own I learned not only the journalist skills that are required but, I was my own camera person, light man, editor, promoter and what not! This helped me build various skills on my own. Because one can not learn it if he/she does not perform it practically. I am glad that I have chosen this path for myself because I believe that one should never stop learning and this is a field where I will get to learn a new thing everyday. This career will not only improve myself as a person but will also help me learn throughout my life.
Currently I am in final year and I am planning to give my whole time to this once I get graduated. Apart from myself I will also start collaborating with various other freelance journalists and creators to generate the best content possible which will be authentic, pure, unbiased and interesting.
