BA Mass Communication Hons at Patkai Christian College, Dimapur Offline Course

Introduction Mass Communication is a well established discipline but highly interdisciplinary in nature. The discipline studies communication as an imperative agent of social order and social change. The course focuses on media in all its forms and offers a systematic progression of skills-based, industry-relevant, hands-on production work and theoretical papers allowing students to experience full range of technical expertise, conceptual skills and artistic expression required to become accomplished media practitioners. In a social and technological environment where media, art and communication converge, the course will help students engage with a diverse landscape of screens, platforms and audiences. The department studies the processes and effects of mass communication: the nature and social role of various media; their structure, function, and ethics; and their impact on the political system, culture, and society. In this context, it considers not only traditional mass media, such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and film, but also information technology, online media, virtual reality, and the internet.
