Pen is mightier than the sword. I think any action intended to make the world a better place is laudable. Once Martin Luther King Jr said, “If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.” As communicators, the truth chasers, the truth-tellers, the storytellers, and the freethinkers, we have a mighty weapon at our disposal. We all know our pens and voices can take down the biggest swords.
Journalism can still make a difference, but the truth matters more. And if you can’t get to the truth through journalism, there are other ways to get there. The study of journalism and mass communication refers to the collection, analysis and presentation of information in such a way that evokes emotions in the viewer, reader or consumer through various mediums such as print media, electronic or digital media.
A degree in journalism and mass communication would equip you with a set of skills such as researching, writing, editing, communication, photography, graphic designing, videography and multimedia production through various practical assignments and classes for hands-on learning.
You can opt for a Master in Journalism and Mass Communication (MJMC) to expand your knowledge and gain the real-world skills required to succeed in your career.
