JALANDHAR, Feb 24: As journalism steadily shifts from traditional newsrooms to independent digital ecosystems, Lovely Professional University (LPU) brought that revolution to the centre stage through the New Age Journalism Summit 2026. Focused on the theme "News beyond Newsrooms- The Rise of Decentralized Journalism," the summit explored how credibility, technology, and individual voices are collectively redefining the future of media. The summit brought together prominent voices from the evolving media landscape, including Abhinav Pandey, Founder of News Pinch; Mukul Singh, Senior Reporter at Jist News, Tarun Kedia and Nitin Soni, both independent journalists shaping digital discourse. Their presence, alongside Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU, and Col. Dr. Rashmi Mittal, Pro Chancellor of LPU, added institutional depth to a dialogue centred on the future of journalism.
During the summit, each speaker brought forward perspectives shaped by firsthand experience in the digital news ecosystem. Abhinav Pandey spoke about building independent media platforms from the ground up, stressing that in decentralized journalism, trust becomes the most valuable asset. He discussed the discipline required to maintain credibility in an era where information spreads instantly but verification often lags behind. Mukul Singh reflected on his experiences as a field reporter, underscoring the balance between speed and accuracy.
Tarun Kedia addressed the democratization of storytelling, observing how technology has empowered individuals to shape narratives beyond institutional boundaries. However, he emphasized that independence must be accompanied by ethical restraint and professional rigor. Furthermore, Nitin Soni spoke about the changing dynamics of audience engagement, noting that digital platforms have transformed not just how news is delivered, but how it is consumed and interpreted. He encouraged students to build adaptability alongside foundational journalistic principles. |
