USP's youtube Channel for Media and Communication Studies and allied Social Science subjects.

I am happy to inform you that Prof Dr Uma Shankar Pandey has started a very innovative and useful YouTube channel www.youtube.com/DrUSP for communication studies students. 

This has begun in the last week of October 2020 to provide teaching resources for students and scholars of Media and Communication Studies and allied Social Science subjects. 

In the last three months, he uploaded 25 videos to the channel. This is more than 16 hours of content uploaded on topics relating to Media and Communication Theory and Social Science Research.

Already there are about 400 subscribers to the channel at present. 

I do think this is a great output and great achievement for media teacher and scholar. 

It strikes me that Prof Dr Uma Shankar has initiated this activity during the Covid 19 phase when most of us were not sure how to do something productive for the community. In our case, for students and fellow teachers.

My compliments to him. 

I urge communication faculty and researchers to write to him and to likes of me about the utility of his endeavour. Let us spread the word around. 

Here, let me add a word that Prof Dr Ujjwala Barve, HoD , Savitribai Phule Pune University, has undertaken a similar activity. She has begun Marathi podcasts for Marathi students.

More about it soon.
