Mass Communication

Hi Lovepreet,
BA in mass communication does not have any subject related to political science but a person having knowledge of political science will surely have an edge over other candidates pursuing the same program. If you aspire to become a journalism, especially a news reporter, anchor, or of any other profile in the print of TV industry, you knowledge of political science keeps you a step ahead of people fitting in the same profile. You will get to learn and read a lot of news papers, see television to understand the current political situations of the country and the world and with that, you can strengthen your knowledge of political science. I hope, it is clear.
All the best.
