Your journalism education begins with a 10-week skills training module called 'Writing and Reporting'. In the first term, all students take the following courses:
You will take classes in voiceovers, scripting, anchoring and making run-downs.
You will take classes in video, audio, photography, and graphics and design.
You will attend seminars in digital engagement including classes in social media for journalists.
You will also complete three short courses in the essentials: law, ethics, and the fundamentals of journalism.
A culmination of the skills and essentials modules comes about when students begin to produce journalistic work on a daily basis for the duration of the programme. Students will put out video broadcasts and podcasts, available to stream live. This work is produced under the mentorship of their pathway instructors. Students are encouraged to compete with local and national media houses on getting scoops and putting out content on our news portal that meets the highest professional journalistic standards.
The second term allows you to take classes in your areas of interest where you begin to specialize in beats. Our beat specialisations are: (i) Politics & Society; (ii) Business & Finance; and (iii) Arts & Culture. This includes four weeks devoted to digital training, and for six weeks you'll be assigned a beat to learn reporting methods such as how to gather and evaluate information, how to interview people, and how to tell a compelling story in your area of specialisation.
The final term will combine practical work at NSoJ with external work experience gained through a structured and compulsory internship programme at leading news organizations across India. Each year ends with students working on individual projects that draw from their collective learning over the course of their study. These projects, delivered in broadcast or multimedia, serve as formidable additions to their portfolios. Mentors will help students showcase their work on live news portals.
