SUMMARY Having worked in digital media for 5+ years, I have been able to keep track of readership trends and fluctuations on social media. The past five years have also marked online content's role in shaping political opinion and socio-cultural shifts. I have myself experienced growth as a writer and editor on the desk although I would also like to venture out for field reporting more. Have worked with organisations with considerable online presence like ScoopWhoop and Deccan Chronicle. Went beyond current affairs to cover health, lifestyle and later business, while retaining my keen interest in political developments. Explored more concise and relatable writing at a business news app in development phase.

I am open to taking up different roles and working on diverse content formats including long articles, op-eds, videos and info-graphics suited for online medium. Ayub Dawood

INTERESTS

Reading, cinema and theatre are primary objects of attention for me. Writing for myself and to improve my skill comes next. I do have an interest in reading academic articles apart from non-fiction books and detailed news features.

Cinema and music are a mixed bag of critically acclaimed and guilty pleasures along with documentaries.

I like to walk, observe architecture, people and urban culture and sub-cultures in action. My interest in food extends to exploring simple, affordable meals and bouts of experimental cooking.

Football is the only outdoor sport I can relate to and I haven't touched indoor or virtual gaming for a long time.

Deep, insightful conversations outside the digital realm are a source of satisfaction. REFERENCES Ashish Magotra, formerly my Chief Editor at ScooWhoop News Soumyabrata Gupta, formerly my team leader at Deccan Chronicle New Media Bibhu Patnaik, formerly my chief editor at BTVI online Ayub Dawood 2
