"Private media, which is supposed to be independent and the fourth pillar of the democracy, has virtually collapsed," argues Vinod Dua, India's veteran TV presenter and producer. 

Cine Ink, a London-based digital production house of news and interviews, presents a documentary film entitled 'The Digital Migration' produced by Hamza Naseem Ansari, a Masters student of Digital Media at the Metropolitan University of London. 

The documentary talks to some of India's established broadcasters about the role of the digital media in shaping news and current affairs of the country. 

Media experts such as Pankaj Pachauri, Founder & MD of GO News, a digital platform of TV news, Vijaylaxmi Chhabra, Former DG, Doordarshan, Vinod Dua, veteran TV Anchor & Producer, Rajesh Priyadarshi, Digital Editor, BBC Hindi, Abhisar Sharma, Journalist and ABP News Anchor and Mili Agarwal, Fashion Blogger & Assistant Prof of Mass Communication appear in the documentary to discuss the process of digital migration. 

Abhisar Sharma feels the same. "Conventional Media is losing sheen because a section of the media has suddenly turned as spokespersons of the current establishment. I mean they do a better job than the spokespersons of the government, of the political party," says Mr Sharma.

As size of the revenue for digital media expands in India, 'The Digital Migration' seeks to analyse why and how the digital transformation is taking place in the Indian electronic media. The film explores the journey of some of India's top television professionals to the digital world. 'The Digital Migration' talks to TV anchors, executives, mass communication students and others to discover their understanding of these changes in order to analyse the rise of new media platforms in India.
