Hi,
Fashion journalism involves all aspects of published fashion media, including fashion writers, fashion critics, and fashion reporters. This can be fashion features in magazines and newspapers, and may also include books about fashion, fashion related reports on television and online fashion magazines, websites, and blogs.
Fashion journalists are either employed full-time by a publication or are employed on a freelance basis.
Course Details:
Anyone having a flair for writing, along with sheer interest in fashion and trends, can pursue a career in the prospering field of fashion journalism. Very few institutes conduct specialized programs in fashion journalism. However, one doesn't have to pursue a formal degree program in journalism to become a fashion journalist. With a degree in journalism, an individual can gain the technical expertise of reporting/editing. Any graduate with sense and knowledge of fashion and writing can become a fashion journalist. But, acquiring training in fashion merchandising or fashion design will be an added advantage for becoming a fashion journalist. Any course related to fashion designing or photography can be pursued to learn the basics and tactics of the fashion world.
Top Colleges Offering UG/PG/Other Courses:
Few institutes in India offer courses and programs fashion journalism, communication, and styling. Nevertheless, there are numerous premier colleges that conduct courses in journalism or photography, which, in turn, can be valuable for pursuing a career in fashion journalism. Institutes like National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi; Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media, Bangalore; Asian College of Journalism, Chennai; Mudra Institute of Communication, Ahmedabad; BD Somani Institute of Art and Fashion Technology, Mumbai; Manorama School of Communication (MASCOM), Kottayam; and Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi.
As a fresher, a fashion journalist can expect a salary package of around 2 lakhs, or above, per annum. With experience, remuneration is likely to increase, depending upon the quality of work, rewarding in the form of handsome perks and incentives. Opting to work as a freelancer according to one's pace and convenience is another great alternative.
