An editor-in-chief of any newspaper

An editor-in-chief of any newspaper, TV channel, radio stations or news portal is a very powerful position. It is also one of the most highly respected professions in India.

Usually, chief editors have top political connections and also speak directly with diplomats, industry captains, and other VIPs. O

n the flip side, they can face stiff penalties under the Indian Penal Code if their media organization carries some news that violates any law. And sadly, such laws are ambiguous.

At the same time, the job of an editor-in-chief is also risky. They can be targeted and killed by criminals or terrorists. They can face court charges from anyone who’s opposed to any news carried by their media outlet.

That’s the reason editor-in-chief gets the median monthly salary of Rs.500,000 plus perks. The amount can be slightly lower or higher depending upon the employer and location.

Usually, an editor-in-chief also has to move up the echelons. They start as cub reporters or trainee sub-editors or even proofreaders. Over the years they get promotions and gather excellent contacts to qualify as editor-in-chief.

Educational Qualifications: No Specific Qualifications. Nowadays, some media houses prefer candidates with a Bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass communications.Big Boss vote Big Boss voteMyna nandhini
