Newsroom employment has seen a steady decline in the United States, falling from 114,000 to 85,000 journalists between 2008 and 2020, according to a 2021 study by the Pew Research Center, with local media hit especially hard.

US media bigwigs layoff scores of employees amid fears of recession 

Newsroom employment has seen a steady decline in the United States, falling from 114,000 to 85,000 journalists between 2008 and 2020, according to a 2021 study by the Pew Research Center, with local media hit especially hard.

From CNN to the Washington Post, US media are facing tough times, as a series of outlets have announced layoffs this winter amid fears of an economic downturn.
Vox Media, owner of the Vox and The Verge websites as well as the landmark New York Magazine and its online platforms, announced Friday it was letting go seven percent of its staff.
The news follows layoffs at CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Buzzfeed and other outlets.
In a memo to staff on Friday, Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff announced "The difficult decision to eliminate roughly seven percent of our staff roles across departments due to the challenging economic environment impacting our business and industry."
The memo, which was confirmed to AFP by Vox Media, said the affected employees were going to be notified of being let go within the next 15 minutes. That would mean some 130 out of the group's 1,900 staff.
Meghan McCarron, an award-winning journalist who spent more than nine years at Eater, a food website owned by Vox Media, tweeted Friday she was among those laid off -- while 37 weeks pregnant.
"My partner and I are so excited to become parents," McCarron posted. "I can&rsquo;t really process the amount of uncertainty we&rsquo;re now facing," she added.
A Vox spokesperson told AFP they could not comment on specific cases, but that employees were offered "competitive severance packages," including extra severance pay for those with "a near-term upcoming parental leave planned."
Journalists who were laid off from other organizations in recent weeks have also taken to Twitter to express anger, dismay, or gratitude to their colleagues, while beginning to look for a new job.
"I&rsquo;ll be figuring out my next move. I&rsquo;m a data reporter but I also write and produce," tweeted Emily Siegel, who was let go after five years as an investigative reporter at NBC. "I&rsquo;d love to keep doing this work. My (direct messages) are open."
While the media layoffs were not as dramatic as those rocking tech giants such as Microsoft and Google, which announced Friday it was cutting 12,000 more jobs, they were a consequence of falling advertising revenue amid a gloomy economic climate, said Chris Roush, dean of the School of Communications at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.
"For a lot of them, they grew and expanded on the expectation that they were going to be able to grow their audience, or either readers or viewers to a certain level," &nbsp;Roush told AFP."And that just hasn't happened and is unlikely to happen given what's happening in the economy."

"Journalism has been under pressure for a long time, and a number of companies seem to think this is an opportune time to reduce their labor costs - hurting both journalists and journalism," the Writers Guild of America, East said in a statement to AFP.
The union comprises journalists from NBC and MSNBC. The two outlets, which declined an AFP request for comment, bid farewell to some 75 employees, according to US media.
A similar announcement is dreaded at the Washington Post, where CEO Fred Ryan warned last month that "a number of positions" will be cut in the following weeks, adding that the layoffs would affect "a single digit percentage of our employee base" of some 2,500 people. Hires for other positions can continue, the paper said.
The Washington Post Magazine, the paper's Sunday supplement which won two Pulitzer prizes, was shut down in December as part of what executive editor Sally Buzbee described in a memo as the paper's "global and digital transformation."
And Vice Media CEO Nancy Dubuc announced to her staff Friday that the company is up for sale.
In recent months, CNN has laid off an estimated several hundred workers out of a total of some 4,000 people, according to US media. CNN would not confirm those figures to AFP.
The cuts took place as the company underwent a restructuring following a merger between Warner Media, which includes CNN and HBO Max, and Discovery. The merger resulted in the creation of the Warner Bros. Discovery mega conglomerate.
Following the merger, CNN's new parent company abruptly pulled the plug on the network's $100 million streaming service CNN+.
Naveen Sarma, a senior media analyst with S&amp;P Global Rating, noted a "steep, secular decline" of traditional broadcast and cable television in the United States, leading to a dramatic drop in subscriptions to paid TV.
"That's a constant ongoing struggle for all these companies to come in," said Sarma.
Roush of Quinnipiac University says the changes were especially painful for smaller media.
"CNN, Washington Post, those are not going away, but a smaller company, they have bigger issues, because they're just smaller and not as well established as a media brand," he said.

India's foreign minister recently sparked a debate on whether American media is biased and unfair in its portrayal of India and Indian affairs. At a recent event organised by the Indian-American community in Washington, DC, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said, "There are some newspapers - you know exactly what they're going to write, including one in this town. The more India goes its way, and the people who believe that they were the custodians, and shapers of India, lose ground in India, the more some of this debate is going to come outside. They're not winning in India. So, they will try and win outside India, or try and shape India from outside."
Amid this debate, let's take a look at how the Modi government's decisions and policies have been covered by US news organisations.
ON MODI
A recent article in the New York Times accused the Modi government of "stifling dissent, sidelining civilian institutions and making minorities second-class citizens". In August, an article in the New York Times had declared "Modi's India" the graveyard of "global democracy", saying that the BJP government is "espousing intolerant Hindu supremacist majoritarianism". In May 2022, a CNN article said that under "Modi's watch, Muslims are being vilified and evicted from their homes", and "their freedom of religion is being stifled".

In February 2021, an article in TIME magazine said that under Modi, "hate speech is rife, peaceful dissent is criminalised, freedom of expression and association face new constraints". In May 2019, during the Indian election season, a Washington Post article said that India is experience "US-style polarisation", and at its centre is Modi, who "inspires either fervent loyalty, or deep distrust".
In November 2018, a Washington Post article accused Modi of being silent on controversies roiling India. The article said that before being elected, Modi used to call then-PM Manmohan Singh "Maun-mohan" for "saying too little about matters of national importance".
ON FARMERS STIR'
Another issue which saw comprehensive reportage by US media was the year-long protest by Indian farmers at the Delhi border.
A piece in the Washington Post in December 2020 had wondered whether the protesting farmers can "restore" Indian democracy even as the Modi government "guts the promise of equality for all" in the Indian Constitution. An article in the New York Times in February 2021 said that "Modi's response to farmer protests" is stirring "fears of a pattern" involving stifling of dissent.
After the government rescinded the 3 controversial farm laws, an article in the Washington Post said that Modi is "used to forcing through disastrous decisions". Another article in the TIME magazine said that farmers forced Modi to "retreat, but he will be back, with more religious polarisation".
ON COVID
American media also criticised the BJP government over its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the second wave of Covid in India in 2021, an article in the Washington Post accused "Modi and his ministers" of focusing on "covering up their incompetence" by denouncing journalists, and alleging an international conspiracy. A piece in CNN said that the Indian PM "indulges in dramatic but empty gestures such as ordering the population to light candles and bang on pots and pans". CNN published another article which quoted Modi's critics as saying that the "Hindu nationalist government" didn't prepare for a second Covid wave, and also "encouraged mass gatherings at Hindu festivals and political rallies".
ON HIJAB ROW
More recently, a debate over hijab rules in Karnataka institutions caught the attention of US media.
A CNN article quoted activists as saying that the hijab row is an example of a "broader trend" of a "crackdown" on the minority Muslim population by the BJP government. On an earlier occasion, a Washington Post article had said that "Hindu nationalist student groups have been on the rise" at Indian campuses since Modi came to power.
ON UK CLASHES
The recent Hindu-Muslim tension in UK's Leicester was linked to Indian politics by one US outlet. An article in the Washington Post said that the United Kingdom is now having to "wrestle with India's demons".
ON KASHMIR
The situation in Kashmir is a topic which has seen extensive coverage by American media.
In November 2021, a Washington Post article accused the Indian government of making Kashmir "even more dangerous for religious minorities". The author said that the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status looked like "an effort to soothe the ego of Hindu nationalist voters". A month later, another article in the Washington Post said that "Kashmir's already vulnerable civil society" was being "crushed". In August 2019, when the Modi government diluted Article 370, a New York Times podcast said that India "unilaterally erased" Jammu and Kashmir's "autonomy" and brought the conflict to a "tipping point".

Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Thursday&nbsp;took a section media to task pointing out that there&nbsp; are&nbsp;communal overtones in their reporting.
"The problem is, everything in this country is shown with a communal angle by a section of the media. That is the problem. The country is going to get a bad name ultimately," the Chief Justice said.
The CJI made these observations while hearing a petition seeking action against media entities accused of "communal reporting" on Covid linked to the Tabligh Jamaat.

Mapping Cyber Security in India with Pukhraj Singh

If the recent revelation that China is collecting huge amounts of data on Indian individuals is anything to go by, it's safe to say that cyber threats have gone beyond the realm of popular belief where this happens largely between North Korea, Russia, USA and China. Mix this with the growing capabilities of the Indian state to collect information about its own citizenry, and we have a confusing concoction of what the Indian cyberspace is. Against such a background, it is crucial to understand just how equipped we, individually and institutionally, are to deal with threats, both, external and internal. Pukhraj Singh, cyber intelligence analyst and expert helps us dig through this through some basic questions:
1. What security and accountability strategies should be adopted while designing government databases?
2. What are some flaws within the Personal Data Protection Bill?
3. What type of cyber strategies have been adopted by different South Asian countries?
4. How do South Asian cyber strategies differ when compared to the rest of the world?
5. Will India exploit the cyber realm in the near future?
