Mass Communication & Media

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.

Journalism means the activity or profession of writing for newspapers, magazines, or news websites or preparing news to be broadcast.

Types in journalism mean different fields of journalism that are independent of each other generally, they use different pedagogy and research methods, for e. g. Investigative Journalism, Feature Writing Column Writing, etc. While beats can be called subsets of different types of journalism, A beat is a journalism means going in-depth in any type of journalism, for e. g. Business Magazines, Weather, Computer Virus Alerts, Entertainment, TV Network Schedules, Local News Resources, Government Directories, Horoscopes, Money, Personal Health Site, Politics, PR Newswires, Social Media, Sports News and much more. The term beat is referred to as the way or road taken by an individual on a regular basis. In journalism, the word Beat is also referred to as the niche which is appointed to the reporter.

I don't know about the AAFT University but I can share my views on LPU. Lovely Professional University is one of the best universities in the country with world-class infrastructure, modern facilities and highly qualified faculty from IITs, IIITs, NITs, etc. The university is having tie-ups with many foreign universities and reputed companies thus facilitating higher education abroad and good placements respectively for their students. Not only this, but the university has also set up high-tech labs for the benefit of students. The university provides scholarships and study/education loan assistance to the students.
LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible student to secure good placement. In my view, LPU is the best option as it provides best opportunities for students. The learning approach includes live projects, Industrial visits, workshops, etc. Also, they have well equipped labs and studios for cinematography, editing and film and TV production. You can join films and television industry as an assistant director, Cinematographer, Editor, Script Writer and Lighting Expert. Other opportunities include working in entertainment industry as Advertisement Manager, Promo Producer and Marketing Manager. Admission for session 2020 has been started.
