Journalists should learn skills to use AI, says seer
The field of journalism is changing rapidly due to the growth of digital media, says Sri Allam Prabhu Swami of Naganur Rudrakshi Math
Sri Allam Prabhu Swami, a religious leader from Naganur Rudrakshi Math, warned journalists in Belagavi that the rise of digital media and AI anchors could render traditional journalism obsolete. In an address at a Media Day function organized by the Karnataka Journalists Association and Union, he urged journalists to adapt to changing times, improve their skills, and find their place in the evolving landscape.
He also called on the state government to provide support to independent and objective journalists who play a crucial role in highlighting societal issues. Prof. Thyagaraj, the vice-chancellor of Kittur Rani Channamma University, emphasized the critical role journalists play in scrutinizing government actions and societal matters.
However, he cautioned against arrogance, urging journalists to remain humble and open to continuous learning. The Karnataka Journalists Association, led by founder-chairman Murugesh Shivapuji, highlighted its efforts in compensating journalists facing hardships. Individual journalists were honored with various awards, including the Samadarshi Award, Hajsiru Kranti Award, Gadi Kannadiga Award, Lokvarthe Award, and Eradane Rajdhani Award.
Media professionals also cautioned against the harmful effects of fake news and misinformation, advocating for responsible reporting in an era of digital and social media proliferation.
