This initiative carries a pragmatic approach where the students are being trained in a professional manner to become anchors, editors, script writers, reporters, camera persons, etc. This will also facilitate an inter-disciplinary participation of students and faculty.

At DME, our journalism department constantly stretches its boundary in pursuit of excellence. A feather added to our cap is the forthcoming launch of our online television initiative, 'DME TV', in the month of January 2017. Our adjunct faculty Mr. Aman Chopra (Senior Anchor, ABP News) is acting as the guiding force by sharing his industry experience to make this possible.

Cartoons and Journalism

Indian Institute of Cartoonists is an organisation, first of its kind in India, established to promote the art of cartooning in the country. The organisation gives a large degree of autonomy to cartoonists to work on an idea and to publish their work. This industry is booming with the emergence of novel ideas every now and then.

Nurtaj Khatun (Semester III)

The word 'cartoon' is a pictorial parody or imitation that depicts a story and revisit to analyse societal events. The first picture to be called a cartoon was John Leech's drawing in the 'Punch' magazine (Britain, 1843). The word was first used when an exhibition of pictures were given for a competition to decorate the new House of Parliament. Since then the power of cartoons is not in doubt as they use humour and satire in pictures and drawings to provoke a response from audiences.

The comic strip, animated cartoons for the electronic media and the editorial cartoons for newspapers and magazines are some of the popular forms of cartoons in Modern Journalism. The press adopts the use of cartoons as its strategy for disseminating information about politics, crime, sports etc. Cartoonists play a significant role in designing and communicating the story or event in a humorous way.
