Journalism Mentor is an initiative of the JM Foundation for Excellence in Journalism. It is a 14-month (12 month plus two month internship between and at the end of the programme) intensive programme designed for those who are interested in pursuing journalism as a career. The programme is based on the belief that a good student needs proper mentoring to become a good journalist. The programme involves a complete commitment to learning and practising the calling of journalism for 14 months based on a curriculum that in its breadth, depth and rigour compares with any such programme in the world. Twenty five (25) students chosen with care after a nation-wide screening will be accepted to become Journalism Mentees. The screening will be conducted by a carefully selected panel of acclaimed journalists. They will be expected to study subjects ranging from history to economics and accounts to anatomy. Writing skills, use of technology and study of viewer/reader behaviour shall also be part of the larger course structure. The course will exemplify Terence’s dictum humani nihil a me alienum puto, which means there is nothing human that is alien to me, because we believe that for a journalist nothing human can ever be alien. A good journalist is a good generalist. So what is called for is not knowing less, but knowing more and the ability to see the interconnection between apparently disparate things and events. Journalism Mentor is about learning, research and practical training. It will require the mentees to interact with and discuss ideas with the best and brightest of mentors. And it will require them to read and write and think every day. Journalism Mentor is not meant for the casual student who looks upon journalism as a career for those without option or for journalism to be a means to stardom, fame or access to power and pelf. It is meant for those who believe that journalism is necessary for democracy and its proper practice ranks alongside other forms of public service that strengthen and deepen democracy. Affiliation/Membership JM Foundation for Excellence in Journalism is an Institutional Member of International Communication Association, the premier global association of communication researchers. While Journalism Mentor is not a degree granting institution and neither affiliated with any university nor accredited by any institution, our course material and rigour compares with the best universities in the world. On successful completion of the course, students will be awarded Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism. |
