Is it good to do a direct B.A degree in journalism or complete a degree and choose a Post Grad diploma in Journalism at reputed institute

Barath, There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production. you can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematograph or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D vizualizations. you may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. you can get into production, whether live or animated. You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ pc game. you can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. you could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. you can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star. you can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted.

Hi buddy, If your ultimate aim is to do Journalism then I suggest go for direct Journalism program. It’s a creative profession and yet have the best of the corporate life. There are several universities/Institute that are offering UG programs in Journalism and Mass Communication. Some of the best Institutes that you may consider are: Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, University of Technology and Management Shillong, Symbiosis Institute of Mass Commmunication etc. Hope it helps! Good luck

I think it would be better if you choose for a bachelor's other than journalism as it would give you knowledge from diversified fields and that is really required in academic scenario. Moreover, going for B J or etc. is something specific right after your 12th standard and you have already decided to have a master's in journalism after your graduation. You have rest of your total life to study journalism but you should start from a general graduation as this would open many ways, Bingo. Cheer-up. Regards.
