Journalism today
Journalism as a profession has acquired a broader dimension today. The skill-sets are no longer specific and the importance of digital media cannot be ignored any more. A holistic training is becoming imperative to equip students to meet the myriad demands of the industry. Above all, students are taught how to write well. We aim to deliver skills such as communicating ideas, problem-solving, team work, creativity and innovation, ability to work under pressure and, flexibility and multi-tasking. Students have to learn to write well, to communicate clearly, work well in teams, work to deadlines and learn how to be persuasive to get interviews, among other things. This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century -- solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.
