Gone are the days when people thought this field is only for extroverts. Not everyone who is associated with this field has to travel or has to be the face of the camera, there are domains that requires you to remain seated at your desk. All those dialogues that you fall in love with when Tyrion Lannister speaks on Game of Thrones, is the work of talented scriptwriters who work behind the screens to make the character come alive. So those who say that introverts should not apply to this field, however, that is just a myth. If you are someone who can think out of the box, have a flair for writing, good command in language and even if that means you are an introvert, then voila! You shouldn't be giving a second thought before joining the field of mass communication. You can become a journalist or a writer even if you are an introvert.

Not really. It is not about being extrovert or introvert. It is about having that passion and curiosity to tell stories, be objective and work hard. The world is changing. And changing fast. To be successful in mass communication career, one needs to be well read, good with reading and writing, updated on current affairs and creative in the way they see the world. The classic credo of why chaining and five was and H is all needed to be effective. And a good Journalism and Mass communication degree helps for a good university.

Introverts are believed to be those who speak less in public and are reluctant to participate in group or public interactions. They are also said to be shy as well as passive to take initiative. Extroverts, on the other hand, are said to be outspoken and enthusiastic to be a part of the 'Communication Loop'. There is another positive thing stated about the extroverts that they are good at communication skills. In my opinion, this demarcation should not be considered while one enters the communication studies, be it mass communication or it is management or humanities and arts. If the ".vert" this is just a concern and relates to speaking and expressive, thoughts of heart and mind to everyone, mass comm is there for extrovert as well as introverts. To make it clear, one must be able to express oneself in a fine manner where needed- be it a job/assignment/reporting/content writing or any other media job. Mass comm can make an extrovert a confident person so one must open up to the best presentation of mass comm skills. A successful career always depends on the communication skills.

Mass communication is not only about facing the camera, it is a lot more than that. Yes, one has to be outgoing when he/she thinks of certain fields such as anchoring, reporting or acting. Basically the field that involves interacting with the masses or travelling but there are also other things to be considered like the TV series we like, the movies we enjoy, radio programmes we tune in daily and the news bulletin that keeps us updated. This is the final product we see or listen or read and it is the outcome of different steps involved. Professionals work day and night to make it happen. It comes all to the point of being good at what you do and being introvert is not a hindrance in the way. One can go for editing, photography, writing, camera handling, cinematography and advertising.
