Journalism is here to stay as people will always need information said a New York-based journalist and Director of SEO at Axios while speaking to Vishwakarma University’s Journalism and Mass Communication Students.

Vora recently delivered a lecture as a part of the Vishwakarma University’s Centre of Communication for Development (VUCCD) lecture series.

She insisted that reader-driven news is going to dominate the news media scenario and “audience first” policy is vital for news organizations to sustain. “Serve your readers, not advertisers,” she said adding that ethical journalism will always be in demand.

Narrating her journey from an Indian journalist to an international media player, Vora said that dedication and hard work will take aspiring journalists to their dream destinations in their careers.

Students asked her various questions about career opportunities in media and the current media scenarios.
