Chairperson’s Message

The obvious strength and growing importance of Mass Communication and Mass Media need higher studies and scientific research to look into the issues with depth and draw some solid conclusions for the benefit of society. In this era of rapid developments in Information Technology, every one is concerned with the negative/positive effects of the information revolution and changing horizons of Mass Media. Convergence of Television, Telecommunication and Computer Technologies has brought so much at the door step of every one of us. New Media and Modern Technology has changed the face of the world. People living in the third world often feel being victimized of one sided communication from the American, Indian & Western developed world. They feel that their younger generations have been influenced by the Western Values, Traditions and Culture. Traditional governments are feeling threatened by this information boom. Individuals are getting multiple identities; political borders are losing their importance in so many ways. At the same time, these openings are brining great advantages for us at the grass root level. In this flood of information, in many cases, we find ourselves in the state of bewilderness. Communicationalogist needs the authentic knowledge and necessary skills to understand the effects of these changes in the field of mass communication. Not only the governments but the organisations and individuals also need to understand the negative and positive effects and uses of the new technologies and opportunities in the field of information and mass communication.
