Why Journalism?



India is a country with a population of more than a hundred Crore, so to bring about any positive change on the national level, the main requisite is communication. Thus my interest in Journalism & Mass Communication

A person of great intelligence with even greater ideas may not be able to do any good unless he is able to communicate well. And herein lays the role of Mass Communication. A journalist while acting as a middlemen between the masses still ends up playing as crucial a role as the masses itself for how can a person travel between two cities unless there is a road connecting them.

I believe media holds the power to make or break societies. What it chooses to talk about, becomes talked about, what it perceives as interesting, becomes interesting. Even a small mention of some work in jeopardy can pave its way to glory.

Thus the role of media today is as important as that of the doer. As they say, It takes two men to make great things, one who is great and does great and two, even rarer, who is great enough to see greatness and appreciate it.
