Dr. Meenakshi Mishra, is a researcher and academician with a strong foundation in Journalism, Mass Communication, and Development Studies. She holds a Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where her research focused on the ethnographic study of journalists in Chhattisgarh, exploring the socio-political and cultural dynamics of regional media practices. Prior to this, she has done her M.Phil in Development Studies from Jamia Millia Islamia, where her research work examined the gender digital divide among tribal women in Chhattisgarh — a subject that underscored my interest in media accessibility, gender, and social equity.
Her academic journey began with undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Journalism and Mass Communication from Devi Ahilya College, Indore, laying the groundwork for commitment to media research and communication studies. She has also worked as a reporter for The Times of India, Bhopal, and Indore, for around one year, which has enriched her understanding of field journalism and newsroom dynamics.
Additionally, She has over two years of teaching experience at various colleges of Delhi University, where she has engaged with students on subjects ranging from media theory to research methodology. Her work is driven by a passion for bridging academic inquiry with real-world media challenges, especially in underrepresented regions and communities.
