Why blog?
REASONS: T.P Mishra
I started blogging to improve my writing skills, highlight the
plight of Bhutanese refugees and inform them.
I blog also to garner support and solidarity be it local, national
or international, for our call for media freedom in Bhutan.

Why blog?

I’m a story-teller first and last. A science writer by training, I’ve
worked variously as a journalist, film-maker, media
researcher, media trainer, communications consultant and TV
host during the past 20 years.
Just like media is a plural term, I have multiple affiliations and
wear several ‘hats’. In all these, I ‘connect the dots’, find
new ways of seeing the world around me, speak my mind
— and also have fun.

Why blog?
REASONS: Shahidul Alam
“This direct access that has insulated me from government
persecution.
“In 1996, when we protested against the government using the military to
round up opposition activists, I was attacked in the streets
“They took away my computer, camera, PDA and films, and I received
eight knife wounds.

Why blog?
REASONS: Shahidul Alam
“The reason I can now get away with what I say has a lot to do with the
following and the reach my blog has provided.
“They know I have over 28,000 subscribers worldwide.
“Some of those 28K are very influential people. “

• The way the audience consumes news is
changing
• The ‘broadcast at’ model is dead
• The ‘engage with on our terms’ model is in
its death throes
• Smart media organisations must move on to
the ‘be a part of and participate’ model

• The basics for mainstream media do not
change
• They must deliver accurate, balanced,
objective and impartial news based on
sourced and verified facts
• But they must be aware of where the
audience had shifted, move in their
direction,and offer something unique,
relevant and needed.
