The advancement in ICT and media convergence are redefining the scope of journalism education (ACRL, 2011). The span of journalism covers content published via newspapers and magazines (print as well as e editions), television and radio (broadcast including web versions), websites and applications. The present research attempted to study the information seeking behaviour of journalists in Maharashtra. A structured questionnaire developed using Google forms were used for data collection. The response rate was 12.4%. It was observed that 25(83.3%) respondents used Internet for information seeking. Followed by various reports related to incidents that they covered 23(76.7%) and persons who were present at the incidents 21(70%). Verbal communication with colleagues 15(50%) were found to be useful to them for information seeking. It was found that nearly half of the respondents visit their newspaper library as per their need of information. The study presents a clear picture of information seeking behaviour of working journalists.Keywords
