Can I do journalism along with B.Com? Does diploma courses in journalism have good job prospects?

<p>Hi Chansi,</p><p>You can certainly pursue a <strong>course in journalism</strong> along with B.Com. The only advice I would want to reach upto you is that <strong>Journalism </strong>is more of a field of practical learning, on field experiences and Live set ups. Pursuing a course through correspondence [Assuming that you're pursuing B.Com (regular)] will help you fetch a good degree but not a creative job because it would require practical experience into role play as far as <strong>journalism course</strong> is concerned.</p><p><strong>Diploma in Journalism</strong> have wide career prospects. The subjects that are taught in journalism are:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Fundamentals of Journalism and NEWS Media</li><li>NEWS Reporting</li><li>Editorial Writing</li><li>Writing Features</li><li>International Communication</li><li>Communication Skills</li><li>Advertising</li><li>Media Laws and Ethics</li><li>Literature</li><li>Basics of Mass Communication</li><li>Corporate Communication</li><li>English Literature</li><li>Translation</li><li>Proofreading and Editing work</li><li>Creativity and Skill Development</li><li>Basics of Computers</li><li>Basics of Internet Technology</li><li>Research Writing</li></ul><p>From the above list of subjects, you must have been able to get an idea about the nature of the course as well as the course structure. Mass Communication is one such sector that has been seeing vast changes for some time. First of all, Traditional Print media forms such as NEWS Papers and Circulars existed. With time, Radio and TV Broadcasting got introduced. These days, thanks to the Internet, Digital Media forms such as E Papers, Blogs and Social Media outlets also have become part of Journalism and Mass Communication arena.</p><p>All the best.</p>
