To be a professional, one needs skills that come after a great practice in that field. Journalism is a serious job. If we need success then we need to study and practice in that field before entering the real job. For that degree in a journalism course is required. Further, news Agencies also do not hire freshers and demand experience in that field whether it is in the field or a degree from a good college. The college that I would suggest you is PCTE Group of Institutes for doing B.A. In Journalism because the course that you are interested in is a highly practical and professional course and PCTE college is known for imparting practical knowledge and guiding its students to be professional, where you would be indulged in handling professional gadgets that are used in print and electronic media. Besides this, you would be taught how to make professional videos using technical software, you would learn how to click photographs using a professional camera and also would also get hands-on experience about various techniques. Not only this you would be handling a YouTube channel along with a colleges radio channel. Having said that you would be studying in a college that would provide a global environment where there would be students studying from 42 different nations and you don't even need to worry for seeking a job once you are graduated as the college also provides campus placement If you really want to bring the best out of you academically and personality wise you should definitely consider PCTE as your option.
