Digital Media holds promising new avenues, challenges and can become key to freedom of Press all over the world said Mr. Kuldip Nayar. While guiding the young journalists to focus on detailed analysis of facts before filing a story in any kind of Media, Kuldip Nayar said “Writing news is profession that comes with loads of 
responsibility and it should be practiced as millions of people rely on what is being printed in Newspaper or shown on News Channel”.  The rise of Digital Media has connected more and more persons to the social issues that are currently prevailing our society and the voice of common man raising their concerns can be suppressed anymore, added Kuldip Nayar. 

“With New Age Media, the Media Industry is on the verge of revamping itself into a new avatar” said Mr. Siddharth Zarabi.

“Digital Media has offered new avenues like blogging, tweet, corporate media, entrepreneurship in the field of advertising, public relationship management and many more which otherwise didn’t existed in past times” said Ritesh Lakhi. “UIMS at Chandigarh University would offer multi-career options for the students who choose mass communication as their career option” said Satnam Sandhu, Chancellor, Chandigarh University.
