Journalism And Its Benefits
What is journalism?
The practice of journalism requires collecting, researching,
synthesizing, and presenting news and information. Additionally, it is a
byproduct of these actions.
Certain distinguishable traits and practices make journalism
distinct from other pursuits and outcomes. These characteristics not only set
journalism apart from other types of communication, but also make it essential
in democracies. History demonstrates that a society tends to have more news and
information the more democratic it is.
Benefits of Journalism
1. You may
get to travel
Since it’s difficult to cover news globally,
However, working as a sports or entertainment journalist occasionally allows
you to travel extensively.
While exploring and moving around, you can talk
about current events. Who doesn’t enjoy travelling, right? This, in my opinion,
is one of the greatest advantages of journalism.
2. You can
meet different people
No matter what profession you are in, exposure
is crucial for your personal development. When you work in journalism, you are
exposed to many different things, which aids in your recognition.
Meeting all of those folks enables you to make
some really great friends as well as realize how relative life is and how our
way of life back home is merely one of many other lives that people celebrate
across the world.
3. You can
share your ideas
The
capacity to further your opinions and convictions is another benefit of working
as a journalist. In general, you can publish anything you want as long as it
abides by local laws, especially if you’re a freelance journalist who doesn’t
work for a media company. As a
result, if you see something you disagree with, you could become more conscious
of it and thereby feel better.
4. You can
cover a variety of genres
In
general, journalism offers you a wide range of topics on which to write. You
can never learn everything because there are so many new things introduced
every day.
As a
result, you won’t ever run out of topics to write about, and you’ll have the
freedom to focus on the subjects you think will be most important to and
interesting to your readers.
The field
of journalism is not standardized. In fact, you will pick up fresh information
every day because you will be speaking with a range of people.
5. You will
never find it boring
If you work as a newscaster, you won’t become
bored. They have a wide range of jobs and frequently interact with different
people, so I’m confident they’ll always have topics of conversation.
Additionally, you typically work in unfamiliar
environments and face problems every day. Journalism is one of the never-ending
careers as a result, so if you’re curious and want to be surprised, being a
journalism specialist can be the best choice for you.
6. You can
create your new comfort zone
A great way to step outside of your comfort zone
is to become a journalist. Because we humans are generally afraid of making a
mistake, we tend to want to stay in our comfort zone and refrain from trying
too many new things.
This might be exceedingly limiting, though, as
character development occurs solely as a result of new experiences. In
journalism, you must be willing to speak with people you otherwise would not
have. Throughout your work, you’ll also discover some unexpected items.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is an
online service that makes your website’s content available to internet users.
When you purchase a hosting service, you are renting space on a real server to
store all of the website’s files and information.
Web servers provide
the tools and technology required for your website to operate efficiently and
safely. They are in charge of keeping the server operational, implementing
security measures, and ensuring that information such as text, images, and
other files are correctly transmitted to visitors’ browsers.
You will discover what
web hosting is, how it functions, and the various kinds that are offered in
this post.
How does web hosting work?
An actual computer
called a server houses your website and runs continually so that users can
access it at all times. Purchasing web hosting servers will enable you to keep
all of your website’s data on the servers of your service provider.
All the files required
to load your website will be transferred by the web host’s server once a user
types your domain name into their browser’s address bar.
You can host a website
on your own, but it takes a lot of technical know-how. Building a web server
from the bottom up, including the infrastructure, hardware, and software, is
what self-hosting entails. You will also be responsible for all ongoing
maintenance.
Your website will operate
properly and follow superior security measures thanks to a web hosting service
provider. Furthermore, it simplifies some complicated aspects of website
hosting, such as technical support and software installation.
Types of web hosting services
There are a lot of
different types of web hosting services that offer a wide variety of packages for
their customers to choose from. Depending on your requirements there is no one-stop
solution to all types of web hosting service requirements. So, carefully choosing
the best type of web hosting service to cater to your business needs is necessary
for the future growth of your business. Some of these types are:-
1) Shared Hosting:-
Shared hosting allows
multiple users to share the same server resources such as memory, processing
power, and storage space.
Because of its
simplicity and low cost, shared web hosting is an excellent choice for small
businesses and personal websites that do not require elaborate settings or
extra bandwidth. As a result, shared hosting is an excellent choice for
newcomers who seek low-cost hosting to get started.
2) Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting:-
This type of web
hosting involves your website sharing a physical server with other users, but
the web host divides the server into virtual partitions for each user. As a
result, each website hosted by a virtual private server receives resources.
VPS web hosting is an
ideal solution for major blogs, eCommerce stores, and medium-sized websites
that receive a high volume of visits.
3) Cloud Hosting:-
This web hosting
system hosts websites on several virtual servers. As a result, if one server
experiences heavy traffic or has a problem, the other servers will take over
and keep the website operational.
Businesses with
multiple websites and large-scale sites such as eCommerce shops may benefit the
most from cloud hosting because it relies on a cluster of web servers to
function.
4) Word Press Hosting:-
This type of CMS web
hosting service provides a server environment tailored for WordPress in order
to speed up site loading and prevent potential issues. However, websites
produced with this popular content management system can still employ a variety
of web hosting services (CMS).
The best WordPress
hosting packages often include pre-installed themes, plugins for critical
features like security and caching, and more tools.
5) Dedicated Hosting:-
Each dedicated hosting
website is assigned its own physical server. Choosing dedicated hosting allows
you to customize the server, choose your preferred software and operating
system, and tailor the entire hosting environment to your needs.
Having your own
on-site server is advantageous, but renting a dedicated server provides
experienced support from your web host. As a result, dedicated hosting is ideal
for large online firms with heavy traffic.
How to choose the best web hosting
services
There are many
different Web hosting options available from service providers, all with
different features and pricing. When purchasing, be sure to watch out for the
following:
- Any restrictions on bandwidth and traffic;
once you reach a particular volume, some web servers start charging more. - WordPress installations with one click or
a built-in website builder that make it simple for you to launch your
website rapidly. - Ample storage, especially since the large
media files occupy a lot of space. - Your website hosting plan includes email
hosting. For email hosting in general or for each individual account, many
companies charge extra. - It is a one-stop shop due to the range of
domain registration services offered. It is a headache to register your
domain with one supplier and host it with another. - Excellent customer service that is
accessible when you require it.
India has demonstrated great resilience in Face of Global Energy Crisis
Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, in a media event held on 9th September 2022, witnessed signing of contracts for 31 Discovered Small Fields (DSF) blocks under DSF bid round-III and 4 CBM blocks under CBM bid round-V awarded to 14 E&P domestic companies.
During the event, Minister also unveiled the logo for India Energy Week (IEW) 2023, the Ministry’s flagship event taking place from 6th-8th February 2023 in Bengaluru, India.
In the Open House following the Contract Exchange event, the Minister highlighted the following:
• India has demonstrated great resilience in the face of global energy crisis;
• Government of India has taken several measures to minimize and mitigate the volatility of global crude oil and gas prices. Fuel price rise in India have been contained in comparison to exponential rise in developed countries. Most of the developed nations have witnessed significant inflation rise in Gasoline price by almost 40% during July 21 to Aug’22, while in India, gasoline price has reduced by 2.12%;
• The gas price of all the major trading hubs has seen massive increase during July 21 to Aug’22. Henry Hub of USA has seen increase of 140%. JKM Marker has seen increase of almost 257% and UK, NBP has increased by 281%. While in India CNG and PNG prices has been increased by only 71%.
• Even on LPG front, In the past 24 months, Saudi CP price (our import benchmark) almost increased by 303%. During the same period, the LPG price in India (Delhi) increased by less than a tenth of that figure i.e 28%
• under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Government has been undertaking various initiatives to attract more E&P investment to increase self-reliance in the energy sector;
• India’s move towards a ‘gas based economy’ by connecting Indian consumers through the City Gas Distribution, enhancing regasification capacities, expanding pipeline networks and setting up CNG stations;
• Achievement of 10% blending of ethanol in petrol in May 2022, ahead of the November 2022 deadline, setting up of 2G refineries to make ethanol, and a host of other initiatives, is a symbol of Government’s resolve towards just energy transitions. The Green Hydrogen Mission, under which the Ministry is facilitating setting-up pilot scale and commercial scale green hydrogen manufacturing plants by refineries is a part of this commitment;
• The significance of the various social welfare schemes like the Prime Minister Ujjwala Yojna and its role in ending energy poverty, ensuring social upliftment and as a catalyst of social change cannot be emphasized enough.
On India Energy Week 2023, Minister stated that it would be a flagship event of the Ministry, and also the first major Energy event once India takes over G20 Presidency. The event will provide an unprecedented opportunity for regional and international leaders and CEOs to come together for strategic policy and technical knowledge sharing for energy justice and energy transitions

More than tenfold increase in share in ‘domestic transportation of small passenger vehicles(cars)’
Railways, being a cleaner mode of transportation, not only helps automobile industry to quickly transport bulk volumes over long distances, but also gives opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint. Automobile traffic over Indian Railways has witnessed a tremendous growth during the recent past. This growth in automobile traffic has been the result of various initiatives viz. availability of specialized privately owned wagons. On the basis of the issues raised by the stakeholders in the automobile industry, including Society for Indian Automobiles Manufactures (SIAM), the Automobile Freight Train Operator (AFTO) policy has been liberalized from time to time. It allows automobile manufacturers to own their wagons specialized for their needs.
To accommodate SUV cars, new design of auto-carrier wagons is under finalization in RDSO in addition to existing BCACBM wagons.
To facilitate loading /unloading of automobiles, design-modification to the existing NMG wagons is also under execution (NMGH and NMGHS) based on the suggestions received from investors/logistics providers.
Also, for increasing short lead traffic, freight rate has been revised for NMG/BCCNR and BCACM wagons upto -1200 km. More terminals are being opened up for automobile traffic as per demands of the industry.
Presently, Indian Railway has a fleet of 90 NMG rakes. In addition, 43 BCACBM rakes have been inducted by approved Train Operators under AFTO scheme.
