INTERVIEW
Vandana Magal, associate professor of Journalism at Grand Valley State University’s School of Communications, joins us on Catalyst Radio to share her perspective on current media trends.
With one of Magal’s focuses in her teaching and research on global communications, she talks about the state of media, and specifically about print media. Although in the West, newspapers are viewed as on the decline, emerging markets such as in India are experiencing an increase in this very accessible medium.
Having previously worked for The Economic Times in Bombay, Magal shares her worldview on the media landscape, which includes what she sees here in the varied Grand Rapids communities.
