Reader Questions — Online Journalism & Electronic Media

Reader Nivedita Soni had left a question about online journalism and electronic media.

Electronic media could be used to describe any medium that employs electromechanical means to deliver information to an audience.

This means, TV, radio and internet can be classified as electronic media. [More on Wikipedia]

As far as online journalism goes, most media houses today have an online presence. They employ web professionals for the upkeep of their websites.

Becoming an online journalist is not very different from becoming a journalist for any other medium.

Most mass communication courses offer modules in online journalism. The completion of such a course could help media students find a job with news websites and content writing and editing firms.

Another way to get started in online journalism could be to approach websites for trainee or internship openings. Some websites can also offer full-time jobs straightaway to candidates, depending on their requirement.

The salaries for beginners in web tend to be at par with what freshers earn in other varieties of journalism. However, the top websites will offer you better pay.

Do you have a question about the media industry that you want Jobs Media to answer? Write in to jobsmediablog@gmail.com and we shall try our best to answer them.

Reader Debate — Outsourcing Journalism Jobs To India

Journalism jobs in the US are being outsourced to India. HT reports:

When the Miami Herald hired Brayden Simms as a fulltime copy editor back in March, the former freelancer assumed his new position meant new job security. He had it wrong: In mid-June, the Florida native learned that his job had been outsourced to Mindworks Global Media, a Noida-based firm that is among the companies fueling a steady migration of American journalism jobs to India.

Another such editing shop in Gurgaon, Express KCS, puts it down to the low cost of jobs.

... a copy editor at a medium-sized American newspaper makes between $30,000 to $60,000 per year, compared to between $4,800 and $14,480 at Express KCS.

Simms, the copy editor who lost his job, is understandably distressed at this sudden and unexpected loss.

"It's a bit scary, to be out of a job, in an industry particularly lacking of jobs. And it's all so sudden," he wrote on his blog.

Jobs Media throws the floor open to readers. What do they feel about this new trend in journalism? While it is a boon for media professionals in India, would these newspapers based abroad suffer a fall in editorial standards due to geographical and cultural differences?

Does this practice have a future, or will it fall flat very soon?

Comments are open on this post. Please post your views.

How Not To Send Your Job Application — A Post Script

In addition to our last post, here’s an additional and very important point.

(8) Using SMS and chat slang in your cover letter may also work against you. Applying to a job is considered a formal affair and it is best to use normal, simple, correct and well-punctuated English – which means, pls do nt use wrds such as dese, 4 dey cn b a pain 2 da readr, n ur applctn wd b rejctd.

How Not To Send Your Job Application

Many readers send job applications to Jobs Media. The blog editor is sorry to inform them that we do not harbour any more information about openings than what we post. If we know it, we post it.

Each unsolicited CV we receive is a wasted effort on the sender’s part. If you wish to apply to a job, send it to the contact email mentioned in each job post.

Hence we request readers to not send us applications. We only post job information. We do not actually provide jobs. We do not forward CVs on your behalf.

Jobs Media would also like to share a few tips, based on our observations of the applications received.

(1) Please do not apply to jobs without a cover letter. It reduces your chances of landing that job.

(2) If you’re applying to an employer who does not know you, a well-written cover letter lets the employer know you and your career achievements. If you skip this step, you miss the chance of introducing yourself.

(3) Run a spell-check and grammar check on your application and CV. Mistakes on these documents will reflect poorly upon you, especially when you’re applying for a job in the media where spelling and grammar are sacrosanct.

(4) If you’re unsure about a spelling or a grammar usage, consult your seniors, professors, parents or someone who has a stronger understanding of language.

(5) Try to follow up your email application with a phone call to the employer, or if possible, a visit to his office. A face-to-face interaction would help your application stand out among the hundreds or thousands of other applications that might have been sent for that job opening.

(6) It’s good to be enthusiastic but it’s also important to not push your luck. Some months back, a company had posted on Jobs Media about an opening for a sub editor in their web team. The sensible applicants applied for the job only if it matched their career interests. However, some over-enthusiastic applicants shot off their CVs asking for openings for news readers, camerapersons, producers and what not. On one hand, these applicants were searching for jobs which did not exist. On the other hand, the company spent their valuable time deleting mails from such applicants. It was a waste of time for both parties.

(7) If you do not receive a reply from your prospective employer, you may write to them asking about the status of your application. If you still do not receive a reply, it is advisable to not try too hard. If this employer wants to hire you, he will get back to you.

(8) Using SMS and chat slang in your cover letter may also work against you. Applying to a job is considered a formal affair and it is best to use normal, simple, correct and well-punctuated English – which means, pls do nt use wrds such as dese, 4 dey cn b a pain 2 da readr, n ur applctn wd b rejctd.
