In yester years, newspapers had two departments—editorial and composing. In editorials, there was predominantly Brahmin manpower. The compositors were Brahmins, Maratha, Dalit and OBCs. Nana Saheb Parulekar from Sakal  worked for seven to eight years under Babasaheb Ghorpade, who was a Maratha. It was paragmatic and influenced the Brahminic journalism of Kesari  and Gyanprakash. Sakal  was popular amongst the common masses. Nanasaheb was Gandhian, but was dressed in western clothes as he was US-returned. There were two journalists who favoured the masses—N.B.Parulekar and Baba Saheb Ambedkar. They were both in the Columbia university in junior-senior positions. The domination of Brahmins in Marathi journalism was curtailed due to their efforts. Though journalism was Brahmin dominated, the allied professions had the depressed classes, e.g. there were Marathas in printing. There was non-Brahman journalism due to the efforts of Chhatrapati Shahu and Sayajirao. However, this was not influential enough to attract readership and hence advertising. IT entered in printing and journalism, and that opened the doors to non-Brahmin talents. There was wide-spread talents in all castes. Globalisation also helped the professionalisation of journalism. There was a flow of people into the AV medium of DD. In rural Maharashtra, there was an upsurge  of fortnightlies, magazines, dailies. That is because of the ease with which a publication can be run on the strength of available technology. This rural journalism is mostly non-Brahmin.
