Hello, As we all know that Mass Communication is a medium of dispersing information to a large number of people. The term is not limited to only journalism but spreads its branches to various other media fields including newsgathering and reporting, film direction and production, event management, public relations, advertising, corporate communication, and the list continues. So, pursuing a degree from such an institute of repute is the need of an hour. Addressing your query, LPU offers more than 250 programmes out of which mass communication is high in demand. One of my nieces took admission in LPU and told me that the course is designed to expose students to all dimensions of Print, Electronic and New Age Media. The focus is on enhancing technical skills of reporting, news design software, video editing, photography etc. The focus is on 1. Better student-teacher interaction through mentoring sessions 2. Orientation of curricular content for enhancing employability 3. Opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities for achieving all-round development. 4. Moocs 5. Curriculum benchmarked against renowned global institutions #Career prospects are Journalists/Correspondents: Reporters, Editors/ Sub- Editors/ Assistant Editors Public, Relations Executives, Event Managers, Photojournalists, News Makers, Academicians and Film Makers #Companies which have visited as of now are: Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar, The Tribune, Times Now, CNN IBN, ABP News, India TV, NDTV India, Zee News, India Today and Outlook.

Hi, Few things you should keep on your mind prior to proceed for a Journalism degree from any college, 1. Do they have an experienced faculty (Faculty must have expertise in theory and practical both). 2. Do they have Adequate/appropriate equipment to make you expert in handling them? 3.
