Conducted by Sreenath Sreenivasan, new media profes­sor, Columbia University, Graduate School of Journalism, New York, the focus of the DVC was on training participants to make better use of web time and demonstrate how the internet can be successfully used as an important source of information for report­ing within deadlines.

Sreenivasan said: “When you are looking for information over internet, the big ques­tion is: How do you trust information posted on any website? You can waste a lot of time, especially when there is need to find some­thing within a deadline. Most people just start searching on the internet without thinking about exactly what they are looking for. If you think for 10 seconds before you click search, you could save yourself 10 min-Butes.” Sreenivasan gave tips on certain key elements like refining searches, finding sources and information on deadline, and making sense of data and statistics.
