print media publications compete for the reader's attention. This
situation has let to an explosion growth in demand for well-rounded
media professionals, equally at home in a print, radio, or a television
milieu. This course attempts to give the students a deep insigth into
the way media houses work and the work flow's in the print and
electronic media services; and provide the tools to students for
developing skill-sets optimally tuned for assuming different
responsibilities in these media houses.

copy editing and the editorial function, photography and
photojournalism, newspaper and magazine layout design, spot reporting

hands-on experience coupled with theoretical segments. By the end of the

the key roles in print, radio, television or new media journalism,
chosen as per indivisual's inclination, personal bent of mind and
