Mass Communication & Media

If you are looking for a global exposure, you can consider taking admission in Jindal School of Journalism and Communication. A relative of mine is in the final semester of this course, and I envy the experience he has gained there. The dean of that school is Tom Goldstein who earlier used to be the head of Columbia School of Journalism. This man single headedly changed the manner in which a typical journalism school in India functions. Students can finish a semester abroad, go for summer schools in one of the finest journalism schools of the world, and can actually cherry pick the electives they wish to study. Few of the students got the opportunity to visit Twitter and Facebook headquarters in San Francisco and California respectively and interact with the higher authorities. I was surprised to know that he was taught research methodology right from his second year of college, because I touched basics of research only when I began my Master's degree. Some of the modules that they offer are very interesting to study which include Introduction to Investigating Reporting. Reporting Gender and Sexuality, Economics for Journalists, Multimedia Storytelling etc. So, take a wise decision when you zero down a college. List all the pros and cons, and see which institute will sharpen you to become a responsible journalist.
