How to choose a new-age media school?

When you search for media schools on internet, it will show you thousands of options. But with so many media schools available across the country and abroad, selecting the right one becomes difficult. Here are some of the points that you should consider to find out the right media school for higher studies:

1) Teaching staff

You should consider a school whose faculty has industry-experience. A teacher who has worked in the in a newspaper, television channel or advertising agency can make you industry-ready by teaching how to write a news article, create a feature story, cover a video content or make a television commercial. You should also check about visiting faculties at the school. 

2) Course design


Check all the details of the curriculum offered by the media school carefully. See if the curriculum offered meets the industry requirements of today. The program should aim at preparing you in the new age media fields such as - Mobile media, social media, data journalism etc. 

3) Practical work

Along with the theory study, the students learn a lot with practical experience. Check whether the school brings out a student newspaper, what is the frequency of paper, and what type of articles students write. The school should also encourage students to make mobile videos since and TV news bulletins.


4) Job placements

Beware of media schools that guarantee 100% placements. No school can guarantee jobs. The maximum that a school can do is to organise a job interview, either on the campus or in a company. Media houses are always open to candidates who have the right skills.
