Journalism

The main objective of their BA Journalism programme literally says it upfront: “prepare you to become a responsible and ethical professional in the media industry”. It's not just lip service. You've got full subjects like Media Ethics & Laws in Sem 3 and Responsible Journalism in Sem 5. Year 2 also covers Media Laws & Ethics directly.

Beyond classes, they push practical stuff too. Students learn “neutrality and objectivity” in fact-based reporting, presenting multiple perspectives for fairness. The curriculum tackles fake news, media bias, and journalistic ethics through dedicated courses + hands-on training in media literacy and fact-checking. Even the journalism club, Silhouette, is built around “journalistic integrity, creativity, and responsible reporting”.

So in plain terms: You won't just learn how to write or shoot video. They drill in privacy, right to reply, yellow journalism, trial by media, and all the messy ethical calls you face in real newsrooms. It's theory + practice + club culture pushing ethics. 

Yes, Lovely Professional University (LPU) puts a really strong focus on practical exposure for its Journalism and Mass Communication students. They realize that you can't learn media just by reading textbooks, so they have set up the curriculum to be very hands-on right from the start.

Instead of just sitting in lecture halls, you spend a lot of time in their high-tech, industry-grade labs. LPU has its own professional television studio, sound recording setups, and advanced editing bays equipped with the same software the pros use. They also run their own campus media outlets, including an online news portal, a radio station, and a TV channel. This means you get to step into real roles—like a news anchor, reporter, video editor, or radio jockey—while you are still studying.

Beyond the campus walls, the university pushes for real-world experience through mandatory internships with major news channels, digital media houses, and advertising agencies. They frequently host guest lectures and workshops with working journalists and media experts, and they encourage students to cover live campus events, press conferences, and shoot short films. It is a very "learn-by-doing" environment designed to make sure you feel confident and ready for the industry the day you graduate.
