New Delhi: The Washington D.C. based International Centre for Journalists (www.icfj.org) has announced two journalism scholarships for students to pursue the PG Diploma in Applied Journalism and Media Communication at 9.9 School of Communication (9.9 SoC).
The 11-month Applied Journalism programme at 9.9 SoC teaches students the ins and outs of writing news stories, how to shoot and edit video using high-end cameras and final cut pro editing software, and the details of producing professional-quality online news.
Students receive hands-on training in all three mediums — print, TV and online — and graduate as completely converged, multi-media journalists. A three-month internship integrated into the program assures a fully-groomed professional.
