Role you're checking

Newspaper Journalist

Creator

Newspaper journalists in India report on beats — politics, courts, business, civic, crime, sports — for English-language nationals (The Hindu, Indian Express, Times of India, Hindustan Times, Mint), regional-language dailies (Malayala Manorama, Eenadu, Dainik Bhaskar, Sakal, Mathrubhumi), and digital-first outlets (The Wire, Scroll, The Print, ThePrint Hindi). The day-to-day is beat sourcing, filing 1-3 stories against hard deadlines, working the press conference circuit, cultivating off-the-record relationships with bureaucrats and politicians, and submitting copy through a desk that rewrites headlines and enforces AP Stylebook or the house style guide. The market is structurally shrinking — print ad revenue has been declining 8-12% annually since 2020 — but journalism-school seats fill every year because the prestige, access, and byline culture remain powerful draws in India.
