New Delhi; News Paper Association of India in association with International Chamber of Media And Entertainment Industry organized a webinar on the future Prospects of Print Media.

“We could see that slowly and gradually the print media has been converted into digital media. The best of the news papers are now available on net. During Covid 19 the process has picked up in a much faster pace and even small news papers are available on net though there circulation is limited to what’s-up and person accounts on mobile. The impression which was created during corona virus forced many people to jump to digital from actual news paper delivery,” informed Dr. Sandeep Marwah President Marwah Studios and also for International Journalism Centre.

“The circulation has dropped down, collection of advertisement funds has reduced a lot, readership has been divided from News papers to viewership of television and most of the small news papers are fighting for survival,” added Dr. Vipin Gaur General Secretary of News Papers Association of India.

Many important members of NAI participated from all over India and expressed their feelings, grudges and appreciation for the media persons. Sandeep Marwah announced membership of SHISTH BHARAT for all important senior media persons.
