A look at TV news channels of today
I often keep getting this question… which is the best institute to learn journalism from? The answer however, is not a straight forward one. In fact many aspects go into choosing the right institute or university to do the course from. Also the answer depends on your geographical location for obvious reasons.
Let me highlight to you some of the aspects you need to consider before taking a media course from a particular institute \ college \ university.
At the undergraduate level (where one does not probably look for a job immediately after the course,) one has to figure out whether what is being taught is going to be relevent in your future career. This can be figured out by talking to the faculty and the alumni. Also find out about the about the infrastructure and whether the specific course is recognised (and from which University).
At the post graduate level the biggest questions that needs to be considered is the placements after the course. The faculty, curricula and infrastructure of course are equally important. Again this can be figured out by talking to the alumni and finding out the placement records.
The British Universitites are officially ranked for the different specialities. The list is available on the net or can be accessed from the British Council. Review of well-known foreign universities are also available on the net now.
So in short do some ground work about the course before joining the course. Don’t just get taken in by the advertisements.
