Anchoring & Reporting

Hi.

For AAFT's short‑term acting or anchoring certificate courses, the on‑campus schedules are generally structured as full‑time weekday batches rather than part‑time evening or weekend batches:

Current Batch Format

• Campus‑based short courses such as Certificate in Acting & Presentation and Certificate in News Anchoring are typically 3‑month programs held 5 days a week on weekdays with a day schedule during regular hours. 

• There is no official mention on AAFT's main site or admissions FAQs of separate weekend‑only or evening‑only batches for these campus short courses. According to student Q&A discussion pages, AAFT does not currently offer weekend or evening batches for the short‑term acting or anchoring courses on campus.

Alternative Options

• AAFT Online (the institute's online learning platform) does provide some flexibility — not specific evening/weekend on‑campus classes — but online short modules that you can complete more flexibly around your schedule. These are separate from the physical campus batches and may suit working professionals or those needing flexible timing.

Hi.

Yes, the School of Journalism & Mass Communication (JMC) at AAFT Noida does include training in digital journalism skills, though the specific depth and emphasis on each modern skill (like mobile reporting, social media analytics, fact-checking, podcast production) varies by programme and may not be labelled explicitly in all official materials. Here's a clearer breakdown based on the available course information:

Digital Journalism & Media Skills at AAFT

Mobile/ Digital Reporting

• The B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication (BJMC) programme includes digital communication and digital media reporting skills as part of the curriculum — such as digital reporting, newsroom simulations, and production for online platforms. 

• AAFT also offers separate online short courses in Digital Journalism and Mobile Journalism through AAFT Online, where learners explicitly learn about mobile news gathering, reporting, camera usage, and news packaging for mobile platforms. 

So students (especially those in digital or journalism tracks) do get exposure to mobile reporting and digital newsroom skills.

Social Media Analytics & Digital Strategy

• While the main official programme descriptions (BAJMC, MAJMC, PGD, etc.) do not list “social media analytics” as a standalone course unit, they do include digital media strategy, digital communication, and social media reporting topics within broader digital media components.

• The MA in Journalism and Mass Communication mentions social media strategy as part of skills acquisition, which suggests instruction in understanding and using social platforms effectively — even if analytics tools aren't explicitly listed. 

This means students learn to work with social platforms as journalists/content creators — including strategy and content creation — though dedicated analytics tools training may vary by faculty or project.

Fact-Checking & Media Ethics

• Journalism programmes at AAFT build foundation skills in news reporting, editing, media law and ethics, which implicitly include fact-checking principles as part of responsible journalism practice.

• Ethical training and accuracy in reporting are woven into core newsroom and reporting modules even if not always highlighted in the syllabus summaries.

So fact-checking skills are usually part of training in reporting ethics and news verification.
