Our Mission
Though journalism performs number of functions in today’s world, the primary goal of journalists is to serve humanity with humility, care, and justice. Journalists need to take their profession with great care and ensure that they are working honestly and sincerely for the progress and welfare of their society. Journalists can do so by informing the public on issues not in a hurried manner but by going beneath what is apparent - research and fact-based reporting. In other words, journalists are the key players in the societal setup as they can play an important role in political, economic, social, and cultural development. |
Our guiding principle is to develop a strong core educational structure with a balance between ethical values, practical training, and academic strong foundations. Our journalism courses are designed to prepare students for careers in journalism as part of the larger community not as detached individuals. The curriculum of the program is organized around three curricular axes: |
1. |
An axis comprising the norms, ethical values, tools, high standards, and practices of journalism to promote understanding, harmony, and integration |
2. |
An axis emphasizing the social, cultural, political, economic, legal, and ethical aspects of journalism practice both within and outside the national borders |
3. |
An axis comprising knowledge of the world and journalism’s intellectual and technological challenges |
