2. Broadcast Journalism for those who wish to specialize in television and radio journalism. Broadcast students learn both.
3. Online/ Multimedia Journalism is for those who wish to combine print, web and broadcast journalism in an on-line environment. Online/Multimedia students learn all media.
1) Print
Newspaper Journalism (Print Journalism)
More than ever, newspaper professionals must consistently demonstrate the qualities of precision, accuracy, speed, fairness, understanding and public responsibility. Students will gain these skills through a blend of theoretical and practical courses and workshops. The Institute seeks to prepare them to step into the nation's newsrooms. They will learn reporting, editing, page design and newsroom management. Teaching methods include lectures, case studies, seminars with guest speakers, individual assignments and workshops. Students specializing in Newspaper journalism must take the newspaper workshop.
Magazine Journalism (Print Journalism)
Magazine journalism students' course work will prepare them to participate in writing, editing and production. They will use the latest technology to create graphics, choose typefaces and prepare layouts. While most students select magazine work from an interest in writing feature articles, the program seeks to instill additional interest and expertise in layout and design, and other areas. Students specializing in Magazine journalism must take the magazine workshop.
2) Broadcast
Television Journalism
Television curriculum requires acquiring skills in reporting, writing, and production for TV broadcast. Students work with both print and television faculty, and acquire the necessary background in each of the subject areas and specializations. Television workshops train students for the real world of broadcast journalism, offering best practices in the industry. Students learn to shoot and edit videotape, and to produce hard news and feature stories. IIJNM maintains close association with several TV stations in the Bangalore area with whom students get the opportunity to interact. Students specializing in Television must take the Television workshop.
Radio Journalism
Radio Journalism students learn to work on news bulletins and documentaries, as well as on in-depth and longer form radio reports. Advanced courses, later in the year, stress on-air production and hosting skills. They also learn editing and mixing on state-of-the-art digital audio workstations. Theoretical sessions will be further strengthened through library research and seminar paper presentations. Students specializing in Radio journalism must take the Radio workshop.
3) Online/Multimedia
Onnline/Multimedia Journalism
This stream/curriculum teaches how to deliver news in any and all media—the skills needed to be a converged journalist. Students learn solid reporting and writing for online, airwaves, magazines, PDAs, cell phones and electronic paper. Convergent journalism is all about what makes a news story effective today and how to recognize the best medium for a particular story. That medium may be the web, broadcast, radio, or a newspaper or magazine—or, more likely, all of the above combined. Students take courses from all areas—print, TV, radio, and web/new media—and learn to combine the individual media skills to present a single story through multimedia. They will create a news website -- The SoftCopy --, doing everything from gathering and writing content to publishing their work. Utilizing major web-publishing software tools, students design, create and operate web publications as part of their coursework and workshops. The Online/Multimedia Journalism course teaches you—an aspiring journalist, the news writer, editor, reporter, and producer—how to tailor a story to meet the needs of various media and present it in today’s cutting edge format and media technologies. Students concentrating on Online/Multimedia Journalism must take the Online/Multimedia workshop.
