Abstract

With the introduction of personal computer systems and subsequent technologies that make flow of information fast and efficient, a new age emerged that is often termed as ‘digital age’ or ‘digital era’. During this age, the capabilities of individuals and societies to access and use multiple forms of convergent media content got enhanced manifold. It also led to a revolution in the industry of ‘news and views’. This convergent media is popularly known as the ‘New Media’. While this new (digital) media is taking new shapes across the globe, it is still struggling for survival in one part of the world called Kashmir. Due to frequent suspensions of internet service in the valley, the digital media of Kashmir faces multiple challenges that are mostly unknown to other parts of the world. During 2010, 2012 and 2016 uprisings in Kashmir and more recently in 2019–2020, when Indian government decided to scrap the autonomy and special status of the valley, this place was excluded digitally that had a huge setback not only to the growth of New Media, but on education, health and economy as well. This paper studies this digital exclusion and its impact on journalism and mass communication in Kashmir.

数字排斥及其对克什米尔新闻业的影响

随着个人电脑系统和后续技术的引入，使信息流动迅速有效，一个新的时代出现了，这个时代通常被称为“数字时代”或“数字时代”。在这个时代，个人和社会访问和使用多种形式的融合媒体内容的能力得到了多方面的增强。它还引发了“新闻与观点”行业的一场革命。这种融合媒体通常被称为“新媒体”。虽然这种新的(数字)媒体在全球范围内呈现出新的形态，但在世界上一个叫做克什米尔的地方，它仍在为生存而挣扎。由于山谷的互联网服务经常中断，克什米尔的数字媒体面临着世界其他地区所不知道的多重挑战。在2010年、2012年和2016年克什米尔起义期间，以及最近的2019-2020年，当印度政府决定废除该山谷的自治权和特殊地位时，这个地方被排除在数字之外，这不仅对新媒体的发展造成了巨大挫折，而且对教育、卫生和经济也是如此。本文研究了这种数字排斥及其对克什米尔新闻和大众传播的影响。

期刊介绍： E-Learning and Digital Media is a peer-reviewed international journal directed towards the study and research of e-learning in its diverse aspects: pedagogical, curricular, sociological, economic, philosophical and political. This journal explores the ways that different disciplines and alternative approaches can shed light on the study of technically mediated education. Working at the intersection of theoretical psychology, sociology, history, politics and philosophy it poses new questions and offers new answers for research and practice related to digital technologies in education. The change of the title of the journal in 2010 from E-Learning to E-Learning and Digital Media is expressive of this new and emphatically interdisciplinary orientation, and also reflects the fact that technologically-mediated education needs to be located within the political economy and informational ecology of changing mediatic forms.
