Journalism is more critical than ever today. As the fourth pillar of democracy, it empowers people with what truly matters: access to truth.
For decades, journalism has been the primary source of news, analysis, social commentary, and current affairs. It continues to shape what we read, watch, and listen to across formats.
At its core, journalism produces content for human consumption across text, images, video, and audio. While its principles remain steady, the tools have evolved. Typewriters have transitioned to computers. Notebooks and tape recorders have gone digital. The internet, however, has changed the game entirely. It acts as a force multiplier, enabling news to travel globally in real time, across every possible format.
Publishing on the open web brings both opportunity and complexity. The ecosystem now demands:
- Tools that adapt to fast evolving journalistic workflows
- Strong version control and verifiable attribution for content and media
- Accurate translations that preserve tone, depth, and intent
- Robust content management that ensures security, accessibility, and seamless delivery across devices and formats
This panel, Journalism on the Open Web, will cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters:
- How traditional journalism is adapting to digital realities
- Whether the internet remains the most effective distribution channel
- The intersection of journalism and publishing technology
- What the future of open web journalism looks like
You will hear from a strong, diverse panel:
- Urvashi Sarkar – An award winning independent journalist featured in leading Indian and international publications
- Gopal MS– Known for powerful photo essays capturing the lived realities of Mumbai and Bengaluru
- Ajay Kamalakaran – Journalist, author, and traveller whose work spans global publications and bookshelves
Moderated by Karthikraj Magapu, who brings a practical, community first lens shaped by years of building on the open web.
If you care about where journalism is headed and how technology is reshaping its future, this is not a session to miss.
