Paromita ( P A R O M I T A P A I N . C O M ) Pain
All my published papers can be found on https://paromitapain.com/research. I have been a senior correspondent with The Hindu Newspaper, India, for about eight years, writing feature articles and health and science related stories. In 2011, I came back to school, graduating from University of Southern California with an MA in Specialized Journalism and getting my Phd from The University of Texas at Austin. I am a regular correspondent for the Occupy.Com and my former employers The Hindu.
My research focuses on alternate media and global journalism practices from feminist perspectives. International communication and newsroom norms is an abiding area of interest. I have researched journalism and news practices in India, Taiwan, the USA and Venezuela. Deeply motivated to understand the epistemological concerns raised by emerging forms of media that are hybrids between old and new forms, between citizen and professional news practices, I have published various book chapters on the intersection of gender and social media besides exploring areas of online commenting and uncivil behavior and its impact on journalistic praxis.
I use qualitative and quantitative methods and have, recently, started focusing on computational methods of data collection and analysis. My research has been published in refereed journals like the Journalism, Feminist Media Studies, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, Journalism Studies, Journalism Practice, Media Asia and Feminist Media Theory. As an Assistant Professor of Global Media Studies, at the Reynolds School of Journalism, University of Nevada, Reno, my particular focus, at the moment, is digital feminist activism in the global south and Latin America countries. I am on Twitter (@ParoP) and on LinkedIn.
