About Prajwal Dsouza
I am a senior reporter and a multimedia journalist with over six years of combined experience in television, digital and print. Currently, as a principal correspondent, I lead the two-man reporting team at the Deccan Herald newspaper covering crime and police in Bengaluru and its surrounding districts. The key focus of my reportage: cybercrimes and cybersecurity investigations. During my previous stint with News9 TV and News9Live.com, I reported on crime, the environment, civic issues, state elections and occasionally on politics in Karnataka. I also spent a significant time on News9 Digital\'s national news desk in Noida, NCR, as one of the shift in-charges. I specialise in writing long-form articles, producing audio-visual content and anchoring video explainers.
