What is the difference between Journalism and Mass Communication? Which is better?

Hi, both of these are closely related and interdependent functions of the NEWS industry. Mass communication deals with the procedure of conveying or transmitting a message to the general population through media like radio, newspapers, magazines, television, internet and so on. However, journalism is concerned with the compilation and transmission of news through the print media and electronic media. And based on the different mediums, the field of journalism can be divided into three broad categories namely the print (I. e. the newspapers and magazines), electronic (I. e. T. V. and radio) and online journalism. So based on your interests you could even choose for a course specific to one of these mediums. As for mass communication there are media fields such as that of theater, radio, T. V. , filmmaking, journalism, advertising, public relations and others. In short mass communication covers a broad area of media while journalism focuses only on news. One can have a degree in journalism and mass communication from a good college and can enter in this profession. LPU is an international university with top placements and world class infrastructure and faculty. LPU is offering various scholarships to students in this pandemic condition. LPU has floated COVID-19 Front-line Scholarship for COVID survivors and their dependents as well which is the best possible effort it can provide to target every aspirant in this current scenario. You can also avail the scholarships o basis of marks in two previous qualifications. However the seats may get filled up fast and scholarships are likely to reduce after July 31 2020. You are advised to complete your online admission process before that. Hope this helps.

Mass Communication = Communicating to Masses. Choosing a channel to send a message to a multitude number of people. Journalism is one example of mass communication. Just like advertising, public relations, films, radio (programs), television (programs) etc. are other examples. I think the confusion arises from the fact that the two are pronounced in one breath - journalism and mass communication, especially in colleges and institutions, for that field of study. PS - From a journalism & mass communication graduate.
