Senior journalist Ankit Shukla, new group editor, Prabhat Khabar
Hindi daily Prabhat Khabar has appointed senior journalist Ankit Shukla as its new group editor, marking a key leadership transition and elevating him from the post of managing editor. In his expanded role, he will oversee both print and digital editorial operations, steering the publication’s multiple editions and strengthening its digital presence.
With more than two decades of experience in journalism, Shukla has worked with several leading Hindi and English media houses. An alumnus of the Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal, he began his career with the Hindustan Times, followed by roles at The Times of India and Jagran iNext.
Shukla spent 17 years with the Dainik Bhaskar Group, rising from chief sub-editor to state editor for Jharkhand and Bihar. He later served as senior editor at Amar Ujala, Kanpur, before joining Prabhat Khabar. His elevation follows the departure of Ashutosh Chaturvedi, the former group editor, who recently took charge as an information commissioner at the Central Information Commission.
