IGNOU to offer Ph D & Master degree in journalism

Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) will start a series of full-time and short-term courses in journalism and mass communication. It is in respect of a great demand of the journalism sector.

IGNOU will offer Master's in electronic media production and management, Master's in journalism and mass communication & PhD in journalism and mass communication this academic year. To offer these courses, School of Journalism and New Media Studies (SOJNMS) has been established, mode of education would be face-to-face.

According to Shambhu Nath Singh, director, SOJNMS, "Since there is no body to regulate standards of education in mass communication and journalism, the quality of graduates from these private institutes is extremely poor. Journalism now touches every aspect of our lives like health, society, environment, etc. So, we need able and properly trained individuals in this field."
