Concept
The world has witnessed an unimaginable transformation of the mediascape in recent
times. As a natural corollary, it has its own impact on media education. True, the media
profession of the new techno era demands multi-tasking personnel, trained in both media
software and the operational knowledge of hardware. The prime point of the day is to refine
the media education in India to meet the ever-changing demands of the profession by
making it relevant and industry-oriented. Given the status and standard of media education
in the country, despite an enormous increase in institutions of media education, time has
come for media professionals and academia to redesign, revamp and refurbish the portfolio,
by altering the system protocol, of course, for a meaningful future. Keeping this in view, and
also with the objective of dissecting and deliberating upon the subtleties of quality matrix
and also the issues and challenges of media education in an emerging economy, a national
conference media educators is proposed to be held at Assam Don Bosco University in
conjunction with several universities of the North-East.
