BROADCAST MEDIA

Our multimedia journalism course introduces students to the latest in Print, Broadcast and Digital media. We equip students to be in sync with the evolving nature of these platforms. The program trains students to report, write, and edit for print, broadcast and digital.

Uniquely, students gain hands-on experience in professional writing, anchoring and production of news, drawing from our formidable pool of talent. They are also introduced to photography, photojournalism, video camera operations, AR & VR, video editing, FM radio operations, podcasting, data journalism and journalism AI.

Students are mentored to bring out a lab journal called "The Spectator" and produce a visual program - “Lokacinemajalakam”. They benefit equally through a common course in theory and practical training. The only difference is that while those in the Print stream must write a dissertation, those in Broadcast must produce a documentary and those who are in Digital media to produce a Multimedia story.

Data journalism has emerged as an essential tool for modern journalists to uncover stories and analyse complex issues. In recent years, the field has seen significant growth, with new techniques and technologies being developed to support this practice.

Collaborative Data Journalism

Collaborative data journalism is becoming increasingly popular as journalists work together to analyze and share data. This approach involves pooling resources and expertise to produce in-depth investigations that can have a significant impact on public policy.

Journalists can collaborate on projects using online platforms such as GitHub or Google Docs, allowing them to share data and work together in real time. This approach can help to create more robust and accurate analyses while also fostering a sense of community among journalists.

Data Storytelling

Data storytelling is an emerging trend in data journalism, where journalists use data to tell compelling stories. This approach involves taking complex data and presenting it in a way that is easy to understand and engaging for readers.

Journalists can use data to tell stories in a variety of formats, including articles, videos, and podcasts. By using data to support their narratives, journalists can provide readers with a deeper understanding of complex issues and help them to make informed decisions.

Data Ethics

As data journalism becomes more prevalent, journalists must also consider the ethical implications of their work. Data ethics involves considering issues such as data privacy, bias, and accuracy when collecting and analyzing data.

Journalists must take steps to ensure that the data they use is accurate and unbiased and that they protect the privacy of individuals whose data is being analyzed. This involves being transparent about data collection and analysis methods and ensuring that the data is used in a responsible and ethical manner.

Data journalism is an ever-evolving field, with new trends and technologies emerging all the time. As journalists continue to uncover important stories using data, it is essential that they stay up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques to produce robust, accurate, and ethical journalism.

Interactive Data Visualization

Interactive data visualization tools have become increasingly popular in data journalism, allowing readers to explore and interact with data in a meaningful way. These tools can take complex datasets and present them in a way that is easy to understand, providing insights into complex issues.

Journalists can use these tools to create interactive maps, charts, and graphs, allowing readers to explore data at their own pace. This can help readers to gain a better understanding of complex issues and make informed decisions.

Video anchoring is a relatively new form of broadcasting that has gained popularity in recent years. It involves the use of a video anchor to host and present news and other types of media content in a live or pre-recorded format. Unlike traditional news anchors who appear on television screens, video anchors use their own computer screens to create a more personal and interactive experience for the viewer.

One of the biggest advantages of video anchoring is the ability to connect with the audience in real-time. With social media gaining popularity, viewers expect a more personal connection with the content they consume. Video anchoring can provide this by allowing the anchor to interact with the audience through live chat, comments and other forms of engagement.

Another advantage of video anchoring is the flexibility it offers. Since video anchoring can be done from anywhere with an internet connection, it eliminates the need for expensive broadcast equipment and studio space. This makes it an ideal solution for independent journalists, small media organisations and to anyone looking to start a new venture in the field of journalism.

Video anchoring also opens new opportunities for storytelling. With the ability to incorporate visuals, graphics and other forms of multimedia, video anchoring enables journalists to create more engaging and immersive content that holds the viewer's attention.

The course in its bouquet has modules on:

  • 1. Aesthetics of video production.
  • 2. Video anchoring.
  • 3. Interviewing techniques before camera.
  • 4. Voice-over techniques.
  • 5. Visual storytelling.
