IN TUSHAAR’S OWN WORDS …
One of the most important takeaways from my time working as a journalist was recognizing the broadening horizons of the media sector worldwide. During my first job as a sub-editor, delivering the news was largely the purview of professional organizations. The advent of social media, digital technology, and livestreaming has significantly altered the way information is disseminated and consumed. The extensive disruptions in the media space have also led to more diverse opportunities for content creation. Working at Britannica offers me the opportunity to provide deeper insight into events, a practice which is often overlooked in today’s fast-paced news cycle.
