Content is the key in Journalism and mass communication. One needs to understand the art of creating quality content in words, photos, or audiovisuals. The knowledge of basic camera operations and editing skills is necessary for generating content. Design tools and specific applications create content for different media platforms like television and digital media to reach target audiences with the desired effect. Media production considers all these aspects, from visualization to making the final product.

Mass communication transmits a message to the general populace through various media like newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and the internet. It also involves media theories, media research, advertising, public relations, media history, and management. On the other hand, journalism is a subset of mass communication that involves the compilation and transmission of news through these mediums. Journalism Education is directed towards creating well-rounded professionals who can take on different roles and responsibilities, including writer, reporter, photojournalist, anchor, news presenter, correspondent, feature producer, creative writer, interviewer, cameraperson, director, editor, documentary filmmaker, radio jockey, promo producer, etc.

Journalism, especially, has so many subsets and dimensions that you can be anything you want to be, as long as you have the prerequisite skills and education in place!
