DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

The emergence of new technologies is revolutionizing the creative

landscape in media studies. Therefore, three phenomenal trends in media have to be understood seriously. Firstly, content creation and

distribution are becoming real-time and the time gap in the

dissemination of information is being eliminated. Secondly, customer

created content is gaining popularity on digital media channels. Thirdly, digital media is gaining popularity and has become part of our everyday

life. This would just mean, convergence journalism is the future and is

the need of the hour. Media students and researchers cannot ignore this

trend. It is a form of journalism that focuses on the public’s demand for easily accessible news, which can be easily searched in various mediums

and outlets. Convergence journalism includes text, audio and visual

communication, and has changed the concept of traditional journalism

significantly.

It is with this thrust that we welcome the academic year 2019-20. My

felicitations are extended to each one of you dear students and teachers

as we begin the academic year. Some of you may be anxious as you enter next phase of your life in a college. Please remember, performance

comes with Passion and not from Pressure. Be passionate, love what you

do and do what you love. Success will be yours.

May God bless you.

Dr. (Fr.) Jose Murickan O.Praem Director-NISCORT

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

I am reminded of John Dewey’s famous saying, "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself". NISCORT is committed to train media professionals who will understand media not just as a profession, but as a way of life contributing to our wider society and nation.

You may be aware of the saying, “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand”. This saying is very pertinent for our Education System at NISCORT, so that students are able to imbibe theoretical concepts by performing related practical sessions. NISCORT provides every student a much expected opportunity of boundless growth through an integrated structure of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Students, you have not just chosen a course at NISCORT, but have committed yourself to an Institution of the Catholic Church which will mould you to be a media professional par excellence with a strong commitment to our motherland India. I welcome you all to this abode of learning. Wish you a fruitful academic year Dr. Ritu Dubey Principal

PROJECTS AND PUBLICATIONS NISCORT VISTA: The college newsletter, NISCORT VISTA, provides a unique opportunity where students learn all aspects of journalism and newspaper production using in-design and modern production techniques. It involves news reporting on current affairs, news analysis, editorials, feature writing, on the spot stories, books and film reviews, photo features, illustrations and cartoons, travel and lifestyle features, among other forms of journalistic and creative writing. Senior faculty members supervise and help the students to learn their skills. NISCORT FRAMES: The students produce TV news bulletins on topical and current affairs as part of their professional course work. They select stories, write the script, shoot the footage, edit it and compile it into a 10-minute news capsule on weekly basis. Stories range from top headlines to running stories, breaking news, hard news stories, and features/profiles etc. RADIO FEATURE: The students produce a radio documentary and feature on current affairs. They learn the skills and techniques of radio journalism, in a specialised training scenario of audio-visual and broadcast journalism. SHORT FILM: The students produce a 10-minute fiction film which helps them to learn the intricacies of film-making. DOCUMENTARY FILM: Documentaries mark the high point of cinema skills, including direction, camera, editing, sound recording, graphics, animation, etc. The short films engage with social, cultural and political realities of contemporary life, and these become the independent productions of the students. For instance, students have made documentaries tackling a wide range of sensitive issues: blind cricket, farmers’ suicides and rural distress, the life of eunuchs, human trafficking, child and bonded labour, and the media and violence, among other issues. MUSIC VIDEOS: The students produce music videos under the guidance of the staff. It is an enjoyable and creative exercise, equipping the students in the big-picture of modern multi-media skills.

12

CHAT SHOW: Interviewing an artist, an actor, an academician, a political personality, a celebrity, a newsmaker or a change-agent, can be an enriching experience. Doing in-depth research about the person’s life journey and achievements, and coming up with insightful questions and in-depth answers, gives journalism students a first-hand experience of engaging with important personalities in all areas of public life. CORPORATE FILM: A 10 minute film on a company highlighting its activities, products/ services, achievements, and its vision, is an excellent cross-functional learning opportunity, where PR and filmmaking meet. It gives a deeper understanding of the new market trends and the rapidly shifting dynamics of globalisation and the new economic order. PHOTO-FEATURE: The students produce insightful and creative photo-features as a prelude to their documentaries and news bulletins, on a theme, along with audio and graphic design. AD-FILM: Students showcase their creativity by producing an ad campaign – a television commercial, a print ad and a digital ad. RESEARCH: A serious research study under the guidance of faculty members will be carried out by students on a relevant subject and the results will be presented using statistical tools and techniques, as well as rigorous theoretical analysis. STUDY TOUR AND EXCURSION: NISCORT will conduct a week-long study tour and excursion for all students which will combine collective bonding, sight-seeing, exchange of ideas and shared happiness. It will also involve students visiting remote areas to witness those parts of India which we miss in the cities; for instance, the craft, art or oral/folk traditions of rural India, water-harvesting projects, local education, the condition of farmers, etc. Students will get hands-on experience which can be translated into short film, essays, news stories or features. INTER-COLLEGE COMPETITION - TARANG: An inter-college media fest (TARANG) is organised in the first semester of every academic year. The competition will involve photography, documentary films, essay writing, performing arts, music and dance,

13

graphics and animation, etc. The program is to enhance the various skills in students like event management, public relations and networking. COMPETITIONS AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: NISCORT students are highly encouraged to go to other campuses to participate in film festivals, photography and documentary competitions, debates and discussions and so on. NATIONAL LEVEL SEMINAR/ FILM FESTIVAL: A national level seminar/film festival will be organised in the campus with participation from students, academicians and media persons across the country in the second semester. Awards will be given to the best papers/films. THE FILM & DEBATE CLUBS: NISCORT students are divided into groups and on every Friday each group organises either a debate on a current topic or review a film. While the debate is to enhance the articulation skills of students, their collective consciousness about current affairs, national and international events; the film club focuses on increasing the understanding of the aesthetics and the art of film making. It also gives students the opportunity of understanding different genres of films. ADD-ON COURSES: Besides the University Syllabus, NISCORT also gives add-on certificate courses to the undergraduate students on relevant media subjects. News reading and anchoring, photography, audiography, after effects, film making and video editing are a few courses to mention. All events are organised and run by student committees with the help of faculties as mentors and guides.
