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.  A former journalist with The Hindu Newspaper, India’s most respected broadsheet, I have also written for The Guardian and Al Jazeera.  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 extensively on the intersection of gender and social media besides exploring areas of online commenting and uncivil behavior and its impact on journalistic praxis.

I am on the editorial board of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly (JMCQ), Media Asia, Media Practice and Education, Digital Journalism, Review of Communication ,Korean Journal of Communication (KJC) and the ICA Handbook Series. I am on the Advisory Committee for the Second Edition of The Routledge Companion to Media and Gender. I am also the associate editor for Media Asia and was the Co-Editor for Media Practice and Education.  I am honoured to be a founding Editorial Board member of South Asia Media and Communication Research Journal. 

I use qualitative and quantitative methods and use 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, and Media Asia. As an Associate 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.
