Jaideep Karnik is the new Editor of Amar Ujala’s digital arm

Senior journalist Jaideep Karnik has been appointed the Editor of Amar Ujala’s digital venture. Karnik will also work as the Content Head for the venture. Before joining Amar Ujala, Karnik was associated with Webdunia Digital.

Karnik, who has spent nearly two decades in journalism, has a very rich experience in the digital domain. He started his career as a Sub-editor with Nai Duniya in December 1998. Karnik worked there for more than a decade and went on to become the Resident Editor. He then joined Network 18.

During his one-and-half-year tenure at Network 18, he brought about many improvements in the group’s sites ibnlive.com (now news18.com), ibnkhabar.com (now hindi.news18.com) and cricketnext.com. His appointment as the Digital Head was much talked about as he was from the Hindi stream. Back then, appointment of a journalist from Hindi stream to head an English edition was not a common practice.
