By Shreya, BMM SSJMC, Noida Nobody can argue that social media has turned into a crucial element of our everyday life. No longer only channels for posting images or conversing, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube have grown into potent means of increasing awareness and organizing activities for issues of real concern.

One post alone could inspire discussions and motivate real-world movement covering millions. Providing a Voice for Marginalized Groups For those who have usually been voiceless, social media offers a stage. Members of underrepresented groups— women, LGBTQ+ people, and others—may now share their experiences, ask for help, and spread awareness about their issues. Posting videos, posts, or live talks of personal narratives helps to foster empathy and inspire activity.

By Simran BMM Sem IV SSJMC, Noida Women have played a revolutionary role in the media, contributing to shaping narratives in society and addressing critical issues on par with men. Despite this, women face numerous challenges within their families and in society. Still, their contributions remain invaluable as they offer unique perspectives driving public discourse and social change. Women in media break stereotypes, transform societal attitudes, and play an important role in promoting gender equality. Challenges Women Face Before Joining the Media Industry Limited Freedom Women face a lot of restrictions in terms of mobility and career choices. They are often harassed, socially resisted, and scrutinized when they try to pursue professional opportunities, which makes it hard for them to succeed in the industry. Gender Expectations Professional freedom has been limited to men, while women have had to fight against deep-rooted expectations that prioritize domestic roles over careers. Educational Barriers Historically, women were denied equal access to education, which limited their ability to develop the skills needed for careers in media and other professional fields. Although progress has been made, disparities still exist. Employment Discrimination Women have long faced significant hurdles in securing media jobs, with opportunities either being severely restricted or outright denied at various levels of the industry.

By: Insha Siddiqui,  BMM Student of SJMC Sem.-3rd School of Journalism & Mass Communication Back when we were young we always heard from the people that journalism is not safe for women’s, they have to do reporting at night, etc. but now this thinking has started to change in everyone’s mind because as you can see there are so many female journalists have shown the people that they are not less than anyone. Women were restricted by custom from access to the journalism profession, sometimes they face significant discrimination. “I always wanted to become a journalist but when I told my family they got scared that how can I work between so many males journalists but when time passes and they saw that there are so many women journalists have come in this field then they allowed me to study this profession”. There are some serious problems faced by the female journalists in the places while assigning Beat, Stories, and promotion for higher posts. Whatever difficulties women have faced they have never seen behind anyone, they are always one step ahead of everyone. India’s first female journalist, Vidy Munshi worked for several newspapers and magazines, including, ten years with Russy Karanjia’s Blitz. Like Vidy Munshi, there are many more female journalists who have given a new face to the journalism profession. Eg- Anjana Om Kashyap, Shweta Singh, Barkha Dutt, Nidhi Razdan, Gauri Lankesh, etc and many more has to come. We should never underestimate the power of women in any field.

By, Priya Bisht, BMM Student of SJMC Sem.-3rd School of Journalism & Mass Communication You see many people around you and try to copy their qualities which you find very well for yourself or for your future, It can be a way of talking, gestures or anything else. But don’t you think that you are losing yourself? I am not saying it’s bad to accept other habits but we never focus on our own habits Why? Is it that hard to appreciate yourself or you don’t want to do it. Just because you can’t see the light in yourself doesn’t mean someone else can’t see too. Remember, Life is not difficult but we make it difficult for ourselves. You just degrade yourself, you never see well in yourself. Just ask this question to yourself, ‘Why do you do that?’ We only have one brief life, if you spend it in being someone else who you’re not, then sorry you’re doing wrong. Be yourself because you know the real you better than others. Hard work is what we chase for, but try to cherish yourself too. We look others but not ourselves. One decision can change your life. If you know how to make yourself proud of what you’re then I don’t think you need to learn something else. May be you think luck is something which helps a person to become a better person with good status. But the reality is that your hard work is something that makes you a real achiever.
