Journalism Scope

Hi,
Journalism and mass communication has a good scope ahead. With the growing importance of the media today, the opportunities in this field are numerous and the job is also very demanding and exhilarating. You can find jobs as sub-editors, reporters or correspondents in the print and electronic media or as assistant information officers and public relations officers in the government information services, public relations departments and so on.
Journalists can be writers, editors or photographers, broadcast presenters or producers. However, your success and salary in this field will depend on your caliber. Some basic knowledge about journalism also is good enough, since degrees have limited relevance in the media sector. The most prestigious courses are, however, available at the PG level for which the eligibility is a graduation in any discipline.
A good route is to do study journalism or any other course at the undergraduate level while doing summer jobs and projects with local media companies like newspapers or television channels. This will put you in a good position to get admission in leading PG courses for mass communications or journalism. You may then be recruited in any profile in:
1. Public relations.
2. Advertising.
3. Broadcasting or media.
If you are dynamic, creative and have good people skills, you may make a good career in the field of mass communication.
All the best.

Journalism and law are two different fields. Completing a LLB degree opens up the opportunities in various fields of law like corporate, criminal, civil and so on. You may practice as a lawyer or opt for Judicial examinations to become a judge. These days Legal Process Outsourcing (LPOs) are also providing jobs to law graduates. With reference to journalism, one can opt for print or electronic media. Nowadays many news channels have started their courses which train the graduates in facing the camera and other activities related to media. Thus, first step should be to gain an insight about your field of interest. Only then, you should opt for any course.

Hi Nitika,
Journalism in India has considerable employment scope these days, with media houses opening new channels or newspapers on a regular basis. While salaries are shooting up, the pool of skilled and qualified journalists is not keeping pace. Without a sufficient number of good reporters and editors, the challenge that the profession faces is of enforcing more rigorous professional standards.
Though print media is read widely and makes money, Indian news organisations are now using online technology to deliver the benefits of the Internet: the most current and up-to-date information, ability to search the content and instantly share information with others.

Wish you luck.
