It gives me the sense of pride to introduce my first edited book “Changing Paradigm in New Media” for the benefit of fellow researchers and faculty members in the area of Mass Communication and Journalism. Communication is the art to express oneself. Sharing views and thoughts with others is just like extending the circle of understanding for betterment. Media is the powerful part of society. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic it was because of digital media we were able to connect, collaborate and work.

The spread of digital media has made possible the rise of new methods of learning, investment, entertainment, information or office work. And the best part of digital media is that it facilitates communication across social, economic, cultural, political, religious and ideological boundaries, allowing for enhanced understanding. In fact our life has become digitalized in all its phases.

This book is a magnificent resource for readers to enhance their learning of digital media and upgrade their professional skills for success. Throughout the writing, reviewing and editing processes, best efforts have been made to give this text the suitable balance. The present comprehensive understanding of digital media is needed by experts and researchers alike. This book aspires to fill that breach by offering an assortment of perspectives through useful and current information in this field. Most of the chapters highlight the changing paradigm in digital media, that can practiced to make execution efforts of digital media. I also convey my heartfelt thanks to all the chapter contributors.

I hope this book will be a very pragmatic source of knowledge for academician, researchers and students who need to understand the numerous functions of digital media.
