What are the career prospects in India and abroad for BA in journalism?

Hi, There are many questions of the same nature. However, this needs a separate treatment, because you have mentioned B.A. In Journalism not in Mass Media. Journalism is more of a traditional form of Mass Media, which may not have the advanced and development communication tools in learning. I wish to make it clear that the universities may call the degree by any name the things taught are basically the same. Please read the following answer: The Degree in question and focus is the Mass Media Degree which is same as Graduation in Mass Communication, B.A. Mass Media, B.J. M. C. etc. Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication is the Foundation Degree in India, because our school do not have this domain as a specialisation. Media Studies or some other related subject is just part of the curriculum of Humanities and Arts in Senior Secondary and doesn't have a major role. Hence, B.A. Remains a less preferred degree for getting a job quickly. Having said this, I must clarify that B.A. Mass Communication is a good option to make a career in Media. After all, one has to somewhere start learning where the career is to be taken. B.A. Mass Communication done from average institutions in India doesn't lead to a good career possibility unless the student has earned and excelled in real media skills. It is suggested that after doing Mass Communication, B.A. In India with good skills of media and communication, one can see jobs abroad as well as in India. But, there has to be specialisation or a key skill and interest developed to seek job knowing that Mass Communication is a very vast domain. Prefer a major through post-graduation or do real skill development during B.A. Otherwise, Jobs are tough to get. <a href="https://ask.shiksha.com/what-are-the-career-prospects-in-india-and-abroad-for-ba-in-mass-communication-qna-4393168" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://ask.shiksha.com/what-are-the-career-prospects-in-india-and-abroad-for-ba-in-mass-communication-qna-4393168</a>.
