Subject: Query about opting journalism as a career option
Date: 14-Sep-2008
Question: I am a +2 student. An average student, searching about mass communication as much as i can! I just wanted to know that is mass communication a good career option 4 a middle class family girl??
Answer: Mass communication is not only journalism. It also includes advertising, film making,editing,writing,acting and public relations etc.

With a degree or diploma in Mass Communication from a reputed college or institute, you can get job opportunities in a number of top rated organizations across India and abroad. Furthermore, most of the leading Mass Communication colleges like Mudra Institute of Communication, Ahmedabad, IIMC, New Delhi, Symbiosis, Pune and others have very effective job placements cells.

Some of the communication-driven businesses that have a high demand for Mass Communication students include PR firms, event management companies, media houses, BPO, advertising agencies, radio stations, television channels and others. These students can also opt for a teaching career at various Mass Communication colleges.

Many girls enter into this field and I don't think the course is too costly to afford. So if you have temperament in this field you must opt for it without any apprehensions.

All the best
