Journalism –mass communication.
A lot of people believe that journalism is all about fun, cameras, advertising
and marketing and they get into the course thinking that it’s everyone’s cup of
tea and anyone can do it. Yes anybody can fit into this course but only if they
have aptitude towards this course. This course is not only about cameras and
ads, it’s much more. Course structures would start from the very basics, it
will cover the history and origin of modern mass Medias, cover print media,
broadcast extensively and separately.
The Delhi University’s course structure focuses on the communication
strategies, models, theories, History of print, broadcast, radio, online
journalism, media laws, ethics, film production, media studies, marketing,
camera etc.
You will have to submit news reporting assignments; will have to make scripts
of new broadcast and radio broadcast. You will learn theories of marketing and
advertisements too.
People who are not passionate about journalism, news and writing often find it
difficult to adjust with the course.
Bjmc will offer you practical training
for documentary production, film production etc but the level of practical
exposure depends from university to university.
Even if you don’t want to enter into hardcore journalism and want to work on
films or on ads, you will still have to go through the entire course. You will
have to learn basic work of a copy writer, reporter etc. Journalism is about information,
this information can be news, an advertisement or film and the course will
teach you how to create, edit, publish, spread and develop channels.
If you have thirst for knowledge, If you like playing with words (But my dear
it’s not about rhyming words or debating) it’s about molding content and
information into a readable piece , expressing yourself without biases, making a boring news interesting , going beyond books and laptop screens and
learning to work on field.
People often think career opportunities after journalism and mass communication
are limited and scarce but that is not true. Journalism is linked to many
disciplinary courses so it provide various job profiles and also it is an ever growing and one of the most fast pace
developing industry in our country today.
