Mass Communication & Media

Hi,
Wouldn't recommend pursuing mass communication via distance learning as you'll miss on practical knowledge and exposure without attending classes in person.

I'm a student studying in Amity School of Communication for my graduation and I chose Amity because it provides best facilities that the students essentially need during their graduation period also it provides finest faculties that guide them along their entire journey of graduation. The facilities offered at Amity in this course are one of the finest ones offered in the country in other good institutions. From practical exposures, field trips to guest lectures and state of the art studio, everything work together to ensure one graduates from here with great skills.

Yes, mass communication is one of the suitable options for you.

Degree in Mass Comm will help you get a job in media. But to become a reporter, you will need more - passion, hard work, nose for news. Basically, you should eat, sleep and drink news to become a successful reporter.

Ability to write, think differently and creative expressions.

Look from a higher perspective. These phases keep changing. Even if you think this is what is happening in India, previously also Emergency had been slapped in 1975 - but well, two years later the times changed. Journalism is something that will always stay - and so will the journalists.

It should depend on your priority. What do you want? If you want a career in journalism, you can start right after B.A. But there is never any harm in higher studies.

Not necessarily. But having a degree in journalism acts like a cherry on the cake and betters practical knowledge as well as opportunities for the aspirant in question.

Hi,
One of the best newspapers to improve general knowledge is The Hindu. Followed by The Times of India and The Hindustan Times. Indian Express is good for essay-like answer preparation.

No criteria, per say. But yes, generally media houses are on a lookout of students who are studying journalism. Students pursuing graduation/post graduation in English/Hindi are also preferred. But if you have nose for news and command over your language, irrespective of the subject you're studying, media houses welcome you aboard as an intern.
