Today's world is competing for
something new and innovative production in the field of Mass Media. As everyone
knows that the basic and most authentic resources for news reports are News TV
channels and Print Media but if we look along with these resources there are a
newest, cost effective, authentic and easy to access way is online media
sometime called as online journalism. There are different resources for online
media or the online journalism i-e that news websites, online paper websites,
blogging websites and so on, apart this we cannot say that one can get easy
access to all the resources that are available in someone's country or region
but the most effective and easy way to get into touch with latest news, reports,
articles and columns are the web resources. Through online journalism we can get
different media related opportunities those can be in the form of Journalism
Fellowship Programs. There are a number of organizations available that provides
each year hundreds of journalism fellowship opportunities to those people who
