The curriculum has been developed in association
with Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, New York.
In order to retain flexibility in its course offerings, IIJNM does
not seek any national accreditation. The program leading to a diploma
or a Postgraduate diploma in journalism builds on the student's
background in liberal arts, the sciences, law or other disciplines.
The purpose is not just to train candidates for the next job in the field, but to educate them for significant careers.
During a full
academic year, students work in the high-pressure deadline atmosphere
of the journalism profession through their assignments in reporting,
writing, editing and using presentation tools. Teacher-editors who
have also been or still are working journalists critique individual
assignments and closely supervise the students' production of the
in-house newspaper, magazine, web publication, television and radio
programs. Students get to interact with newspaper and magazine publishing
houses and television and radio stations in the nearby area. Bangalore
city, in all its vastness, complexity and diversity, is the institute's
working laboratory.
Currently,
the programs consists of concentrations
in Television journalism, Radio journalism, Print journalism (newspaper
or magazine), Web journalism and Multimedia journalism. The curriculum
includes core courses in reporting and writing, ethical and legal
issues, and tools of journalism. Students may specialize in such
areas as political reporting, international news coverage, business,
arts, sports and several other electives.
Media workshops
include working on an in-house newspaper, magazine, web publication,
television or radio program. |
