Mass Communication & Media

Hi,
There are many questions of the same nature. However, this needs a separate treatment, because you have mentioned B.A. In Journalism not in Mass Media. Journalism is more of a traditional form of Mass Media, which may not have the advanced and development communication tools in learning. I wish to make it clear that the universities may call the degree by any name the things taught are basically the same. Please read the following answer:
The Degree in question and focus is the Mass Media Degree which is same as Graduation in Mass Communication, B.A. Mass Media, B.J. M. C. etc. Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication is the Foundation Degree in India, because our school do not have this domain as a specialisation. Media Studies or some other related subject is just part of the curriculum of Humanities and Arts in Senior Secondary and doesn't have a major role. Hence, B.A. Remains a less preferred degree for getting a job quickly. Having said this, I must clarify that B.A. Mass Communication is a good option to make a career in Media. After all, one has to somewhere start learning where the career is to be taken. B.A. Mass Communication done from average institutions in India doesn't lead to a good career possibility unless the student has earned and excelled in real media skills. It is suggested that after doing Mass Communication, B.A. In India with good skills of media and communication, one can see jobs abroad as well as in India. But, there has to be specialisation or a key skill and interest developed to seek job knowing that Mass Communication is a very vast domain. Prefer a major through post-graduation or do real skill development during B.A. Otherwise, Jobs are tough to get. https://ask.shiksha.com/what-are-the-career-prospects-in-india-and-abroad-for-ba-in-mass-communication-qna-4393168.

Hi,
A Degree in Journalism is necessary these days to enter the ever-expanding domain of jobs and careers. The media houses need thousands of youngsters each year to take up jobs that vary from News reporting to graphic designing' from camera to content writing and from simple public relation activities to event management at big levels. A degree is worth. Question is about the utility of a Distance Education mode. There is a difference between the Regular and Distance Modes and that is of the Level of Teaching-Learning. Regular Studies give enough amount of exposure as well as the opportunity for the students to expand the horizons of skills and expertise. The Distance Mode limits the scope of that. If there are valid reasons and the learners is determined to ensure that the learning will not be caged because of the Distance mode, it can be done from a good Distance Learning University/Institution. IGNOU, Symbiosis, IIMC are the known names.
