ABOUT US
M.O.P. Vaishnav College for Women
One of the youngest colleges in the country to
be granted autonomy, M.O.P. Vaishnav College for Women has displayed its
penchant for distinction and innovation in academics since its inception. The college has been committed to
attracting and supporting top calibre women students, providing them the right
arena for higher education. The college has over 14 UG & 8 PG courses plus
a dedicated Research programme in the Department of Commerce. Affiliated to the
University of Madras, it boasts a strength of 3,000 students. The college
offered itself for accreditation in its decennial year in 2004 and has been reaccredited
in 2009 by the NAAC (The National Assessment & Accreditation Council) with
an ‘A’ grade and a 3.51 CGPA on a 4 point scale.
The vision of the college is to evolve into a University of
international repute. Towards this end,
the
regimen of academic study at each level is well balanced with extra & co
curricular activities, which include workshops, lectures, seminars,
conferences, symposia etc. organized by the faculty. The individual departments
of the college are responsible for the academic activities which include teaching,
research and other educational support to students. The teaching faculty have
distinguished themselves through awards for academic accolades earned
nationally and globally.
Department of Journalism. Established
in 2003, the Department of Journalism seeks to equip aspiring journalists to
handle news in the print media, the electronic media and the online media. As
part of the course, students undertake projects which involve active field
experience comprising live beat coverage, research and interviews that equip
them with the skills required to join the band of professionals in the
industry.
The department
believes in keeping up with the trends in the field of journalism, and
recognises the magnitude of influence that the digital media has on its
practice. Far from being the radical,
avant garde concept it once was, practised by only the most forward-looking of
news organisations, convergence journalism has now made its presence felt in the
journalistic landscape. Most news organisations, having tentatively tried their
hands at being part of the digital world -producing a video clip here, web
updates there, and elsewhere an interactive infographic - are now regularly
doing it all, and what's more, they are deploying a lean, multi-skilled team,
rather than specialists, to do it.
But what is the
upshot of this seismic shift? On the one hand, it puts a vast array of
technological tools in the hands of journalists. At the same time, it puts a
question mark on the very notion of who is a journalist. With the Internet --
particularly social media -- democratising journalistic resources and
information, every networked citizen could potentially be a disseminator of
news content. If the supply pattern has changed, so has the consumption. News
reception is no longer collective -it is much more individualised. Besides,
thanks to mobile wireless technology, news content portability may even exceed
that of newspapers, as Denis Mc Quail says.
In this
scenario, some questions arise. With the amateurisation of news production,
whither journalistic accountability? When more and more content ends up online
for the consumption of an active minority, could the majority of citizens be
left the victims of a knowledge gap? What happens to public opinion? Are the
emerging media technologies changing the face of journalism? If so, how? And
where do the traditional news media stand in this changing scenario?
These and many
more questions surrounding media convergence in journalism warrant in-depth
study and knowledge-sharing, so that, even as news production and delivery
models change, basic journalistic values are preserved. The department of
Journalism at M.O.P. Vaishnav College has taken a step in this direction through
a paper presentation seminar on various dimensions of new media and digital
journalism.
