Content is the key to Journalism and mass communication. One must understand the art of creating quality content in words, photos, or audiovisuals. Knowledge of basic camera operations and editing skills is necessary to generate content. Design tools and specific applications create content for different media platforms like television and digital media to reach target audiences with the desired effect. Media production considers all these aspects, from visualization to making the final product.
Mass communication transmits a message to the general populace through various media like newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, and the Internet. It also involves media theories, research, advertising, public relations, media history, and management. On the other hand, journalism is a subset of mass communication that involves the compilation and transmission of news through these mediums. Journalism education seeks to develop well-rounded professionals capable of performing a variety of roles and responsibilities, including writers, reporters, photojournalists, anchors, news presenters, correspondents, feature producers, creative writers, interviewers, camerapersons, directors, editors, documentary filmmakers, radio jockeys, promo producers, and others.
Journalism gives a stable career. With traditional mediums like print, television, and radio still holding their grip on the market, digital platforms and news on social platforms have opened newer avenues in journalism. There are ample opportunities and permanent jobs available in journalism, public relations, corporate communication, and the research field, which needs its basics in journalism, mass communication, and media production. When you talk about a field like Media & Entertainment, where there are opportunities galore, it would be almost foolish to say that there are no jobs or job security. Whether you prefer getting employed as a full-time employee with a media organization or find the project-to-project working style more suitable to your personality, there is something for everyone here. Journalism, especially, has so many subsets and dimensions that you can be anything you want to be, as long as you have the prerequisite skills and education in place!
Other than the jobs in traditional mediums like Print, Television and Radio, the digital platform and news on social platforms are the newer job opportunities.
