Mysuru: The media space should be such that it must touch and reach every corner of the society, said D. Sudhanva, Chief Executive Officer, Excelsoft Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

He was speaking as the chief guest at the Rotary-Silicon Journalism Award for Excellence in Journalism, organised by Rotary Mysore Midtown at the Rotary Centre on JLB Road here on Wednesday.

In the modern world with growing influence of social media, it must be everyone’s effort to see that the media reaches all sections of the people. As science and technology have made rapid strides everything is being digitalised.

During school and college days, we would read the newspapers sitting in rooms. However, today we have explosion of information at our fingertips within minutes and seconds. Besides, media is facing many challenges today, he said.
