Mass Communication in the Modern World

Mass Communication

Mass Communication is basically a method of communicating with masses through different media such as newspapers, television, radio etc. It is a good way of communication because numerous people get involved in the communication process at a time. 20 years back from now, it was one way communication process but now through the various means of communication like postal, mobile, telephone, email services it became easy for common man to communicate with the electronic as well as print media and share own views about the current affairs in the world; it has became a two way communication process.

There are various institutes which give technical education required to work in the field of mass communication. Right from advertising to public relations everything is taught thoroughly in the institutes like Vishwakarma Creative-I college (Pune), Maharashtra Institute of Technology (Pune), Indira Gandhi Open University, Symbiosis Institute Pune & Mumbai, Suryadatta Group of Institutes Pune and many more. The expertise in the sector of writing such as copywriting, script writing, public relations, media relations, news & feature writing can be done through the education of mass communication. Apart from this, expertise in the camera, cinematography, art direction, film direction, film editing is also checked.

The major advantage of this sector is, students from any stream can take admission for bachelors’ or master’s degree in mass communication. There are various government jobs available when a candidate completes diploma, graduation or post graduation from this field. There are numerous private jobs available for the candidates or else they can start their own business such as recording studio, advertising agency, public relations firm. Also one can be a part of movie direction, editing etc.

Mass communication today have enormous scope of growth across the world. I insist 12th passed students to go for it if they are interested in these kind of sectors.
