Deans MessageSince 2000, IIJNM has made steady progress in offering an excellent
journalism curriculum suited to the practice of the profession. With
experienced faculty from India and abroad, a Media Lab and state-of-the
art TV and radio studios, students get the best there is to prepare for a
start in their new career. With the recent introduction of the Multimedia
Journalism program, we are at the cutting edge of technology and media
practices. As an independent institution not afliated with or run byany newspaper or media organization, we are able to maintain wider
associations within the industry. Having built up our reputation as one of
the leading J-schools in South Asia, we are now ready to make further
contributions to the profession. These developments reect not only our
commitment to a fair and independent media, but also the accomplishments
of our faculty and past graduates.
At IIJNM, rst you learn the craft of journalism how to cover a story,
be a good reporter, do the research properly, and write well. We also teach
you to use the many tools of journalism such as software applications,
how to design and layout, work with images, edit, and so on. These are
some of the essentials; what I want you to recognize is something more.
We do not teach you what to think, but how to think and analyze. You
must develop the skill of critical thought and learn to examine different
perspectives and ideas.
I hope you will examine some of the crucial questions of our time
affecting our community, India and the world. The relevance of a liberal
arts education is to examine unjust acts, wrong traditions and improper
ways of life, so that you may nd ways to set things right. You must also
learn to appreciate the full breadth of individual freedom and expression,
of equality, and human justice. You must grasp, embrace and move into
the realm of right from wrong.
Indian journalism is a vibrant profession, constantly striving to nd its
rightful place within a democracy in transition. Many argue that Indian
journalists are not adequately questioning the governments economic
program and foreign policy, and investigating corruptive practices and
environmental issues. With increased concern on the part of citizens, we
can hope that our media will challenge vigorously and constructively the
wisdom and practices of our politicians and bureaucrats.
The recent turmoil in world nancial markets, the terrorist attack on
Mumbai, and the Hazare movement have combined to generate critical
evaluations by journalists. The press is now more vigorously questioning
government policies, corruption and preparedness to handle external
threats. Optimistic economic predictions put out by politicians are also
being challenged. These are positive developments in bringing about thenecessary changes to governance in India.
In conclusion, what are the vital characteristics needed of a great
journalist? Needless to say, you must learn the skills to be a good reporter
and writer. You must dig into the story, nd the truth, and present your
material eloquently and interestingly to the reader/viewer/listener. You
must cultivate good working relationships with your sources and contacts,
and never rely on the easy ones, such as politicians, who will rarely tell
you what they dont want the people to know. You must learn to develop
a sense of urgency, manage your time well, and seize
the moment. In doing all these, understand the issues
that really matter to the people, cover them well, and
stimulate a dialogue with and among your readers and
viewers. Finally, you must not just be a journalist but
something more than that a professional journalist
with personal integrity.
At IIJNM, we strive to offer the best curriculum, and
train you for a successful career in journalism. Judging
from our past graduates, the media profession has
already come to recognize the quality of our programs
and the students. I hope you will commit yourself to
excelling in this exciting career.
Thank you,

other educational institutions in medicine and engineering, while the latter is engaged in humanitarian projects and environmentaissues (see www.tgfworld.org).
The main motivating factor behind the creation of IIJNM is the overwhelming need to improve the quality of journalism and elevate
the stature of the profession in India.
The Institutes mission is to educate students in a broad range
of skills and concepts involving the gathering, editing and
presentation of information, and prepare them for a career in
journalism. While there is a strong emphasis on the craft of
journalism, the curriculum is designed to help students draw
on and supplement their basic education so they are better
equipped to handle intelligently the fundamental issues of
the day.
Students are exposed to the principles and ethics intrinsic to
the profession to enable them to hone their journalistic skills
They are given practical training by covering events in the city

and studio, and frequently publishing and broadcasting the news
The hope is that IIJNM journalists will not only be competen
practitioners by todays standards, but also that they will help
raise those standards.

to report on stories dealing with health and environment problems
currently faced by the community.
Issues in Developmental Journalism
Developmental issues such as poverty eradication, healthcare
delivery, literacy programmes and infrastructure development are
examined in this course. The roles of institutions of government,
bilateral and multilateral international agencies, nongovernmental
organisations, and philanthropy are studied to understand howpolicies and programmes are carried out, and their impact. All
students with specialisation in developmental issues are required
to take this course.
Rural Reporting
This course calls for students to carry out their beat reporting
in rural areas on issues that are part of the daily life in villages.
Problems faced by the rural population are examined, and issues
dealing with farming, rural education and vocational training,
role of women and the administration of villages are some of the
stories covered.
Television News Magazines & Documentary
Students report and produce stories ranging in length from ve to
10 minutes, designed for news, magazine and documentary style
programmes. Students work in small teams on feature stories,
investigative reports and proles.
In addition, anchoring for television is approached in a systematic
manner with emphasis on hands-on learning. Students directly
apply their knowledge in the daily TV bulletin, Bangalore@7, that
forms a valuable part of real-time reporting experience.
The emphasis is on substance and the ability to investigate anddocument a series of facts and events in an interesting manner
for the medium. All students with concentration in Television are
required to take this course.
Radio News Bulletin and Documentary
Students produce stories for radio news bulletins. They research,
interview, record and produce bulletins to a deadline, individually
and in teams. They also work in teams on longer programmes like
documentaries and features, with an emphasis on research and
investigation tuned to the medium. All students with concentration
in Radio are required to take this course.
Covering Science and Technology
Science and technology have become very much a part of ou
lives that the two are now inseparable. Information technology, fo
instance, has virtually taken over our daily tasks through device
such as personal computers, mobile phones and automated banking
The media recognizes the need to talk about technology in simple
layman terms so that the general public can understand even
complex issues. Many newspapers have introduced technology
pages, and more television channels have begun to devote mor
than a few hours a week to technology news. Some magazines
have appointed science and technology correspondents. Bangalor
is a hub of scientic research institutions and IT related-busines
activities. Apart from hardware and software, business processingand outsourcing have become a very important aspect of business
IIJNM students are expected to nd informative stories from the
technology and science sector. Students will study the impac
of IT, as well as breakthroughs in bio-technology and medica
technology, and learn to report on them in a simple, clear style.

I am privileged to be invited by your organisation. I feel humbled and enthused whenI meet people committed like your institute is to issues of truth and human concerns.
For us all the RTI is a tool for getting both justice for the individual and disclosing the
contradictions of the mechanisms of governance and mockery of justice, so that we
can somewhere provoke the passive people to protest to regain their sovereignty.

Impressions
This place is most reassuring and full of promise For all those
who value fair minded, thoughtful and objective journalism.
Ramesh Chandran, The Times of India, Washington D. C.
Excellent infrastructure and faculty. Very friendly and warm.
Excellent and bright students.
Gareth Murray, PA, UK
IIJNM has consistently been producing the best crop of new
journalists over the past few years. They are more rooted to reality,
their ears are closer to the ground, their noses more sensitive to
news, their ears better attuned to the language. I have found IIJNM
graduates to be the most daring, the most experimental and the
most comfortable with tools like RTI. I look forward to meeting
the next batch of graduates!
Aditya Sinha, editor in chief, DNA
Meeting intelligent and concerned young people gives me hope
for myself and India.
Aruna Roy, MKSS, Rajasthan
In conversations with fellow journalists, we often discuss the wide
gap between education and professional life in India. What is taught
in most classrooms here is far from what is to be done at the ofce
desk. For me, that gap was lled at IIJNM. My greatest learning at
IIJNM was that journalism is not a job; its a way of life. There
are challenges and tough times every day. But the way of life that
IIJNM inculcated in me always helps me sail through.
Itika Sharma, Reporter, NewsWire18
After working in broadcast media for more than three years, I have
realised that its not a cakewalk, actually far from it, and IIJNM
totally prepares you for it.
There are early morning edit meets, then you go on shoots, gure
out where the story is heading and eventually produce a bulletin
or print a newspaper. But it doesnt end there: After everything
there is feedback time. At IIJNM, the professors who have all been
on eld and have ample experience help you understand where
and what went wrong.
I was placed through campus recruitment and I still cant thank
IIJNM enough for what the teachers taught me. It was a great
memorable and truly valuable year of my life.
Swati Varma, Associate Producer, Times Now
After graduating from IIJNM, in 2009 with broadcast media a
my major, I entered the radio industry and then shifted to print
media. The best part about IIJNM is that it teaches you to cut
across media.The course is tough, no two ways about it, but it prepares you
to take on any media job, and helps you t right in with any
organization.
During my year at the institute, I saw a lot of hard work, a lot o
anxiety as deadlines approached, the excited buzz of a newsroom
and the triumph of pulling off a daily bulletin. Things went wrong
but we were trained to learn and move forward.
