Journalist

M.A. Journalism needs a really good faculty but this is not enough. The college from you pursue your degree has a lot to do for shaping your career. It is not only in giving placements but a lot more. The university right from the campus prepares you for jobs of journalism from the campus itself. My friend Vikrant Pratap from Lovely Professional University, was directly selected from the campus by ANI. There are many reasons for such selections. The most important thing is when you are in the campus the university gives you many opportunities of practicing your journalism with the dignitaries that visit the campus. Such links and good work of yours exposes you to the world of media automatically and you become a confident person and a fearless journalist.

If you are interested to become a journalist, you should definitely opt for a graduate programme in Journalism and Mass Communication programme after class 12th. These courses offer you specific subject and even more important skills like reporting, editing, anchoring, video shooting, using drones, mixing and editing, layout, publishing, public relations, media laws, et al. At the same time, its very important that you carefully choose a college. Prefer a college that gives you hands on experience, for it is a completely practical course, and there are plenty of colleges out there which do nothing more than theory. I have done my Masters from PCTE Group of Institutes, though I am not from journalism department, but I often saw these students covering campus events with drones, gimble, and other sophisticated gadgets. Also visited this sound proof studio one day with a friend. It had this mixing and editing computers, software and equipment, with which students were working. Later in my final year I saw several videos which were shared in our WhatsApp groups, which were shot and made by Journalism dept students. I was really inspired. I am certain you can find one such college in your city, or try my college also if you want.
