Media Conclave 2023

Pune Collective & Indie Journal presents, Media Conclave 2023.

Though India’s media is diverse and plural, it is undergoing an unprecedented crisis of trust, method, ethics, business, and existence. With the increasing involvement of corporate styles of management and function and the drastic shift in the profession, it becomes necessary for the media stakeholders to pause, look around and then introspect about where it stands.

Major centres like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai etc, see these discussions happening regularly. But Maharashtra, one of the most important landscapes in India, hardly sees such events. We propose to break that silence and introduce an introspective platform for Maharashtra and its vibrant media and people.

By participating in this event, individuals can expect to enhance their knowledge, gain a deeper understanding of the current state of the media industry in India, and contribute to meaningful conversations that can shape the future of media in Maharashtra. Additionally, networking opportunities with industry experts and peers can provide valuable connections and insights for professional growth.
