INDIE JOURNAL & PUNE COLLECTIVE, PRESENT

Media Conclave 2023

16 December 2023

SM Joshi Auditorium, Navi Peth, Pune

Though India’s media is diverse and plural, it is undergoing an unprecedented crisis of trust, method, ethics, business and existence itself. With the increasing involvement of corporate styles of management and function and the drastic shift in the nature of the profession, it becomes necessary for the stakeholders of the media to take a pause, look around and then introspect about where it stands at the moment.
