As I See....

In earlier times tv, radio and newspapers were the only source of news for the people. But with the verge of internet in almost each and every field, it can be considered as one of the most important and common source of media related searches and activities.
These days every news channel and newspaper has got their own websites and every bit of news gets published on these websites. No matter where you are can get to know the news around you with just one click. Without getting a newspaper or writing any news channels, one can get to know all the news one needs to know.

THE HINDU

The HINDU is one of the leading daily English newspaper in the country, HINDU was one of the first newspapers to launch its own website in 1995. Looking at THE HINDU website, its design is quite simple and basic. Move over, follows a generic format. The website does not have features which can attract the attention of the viewer. The website also is not full of advertisements, like in some of the other websites. There is a separate column for all the advertisements.

MSNBC

MSNBC is an US based website. It is visually very rich. There are various pictures posted on the website which gives you an overview of the story inside. Looking at the website, the format seems to be complicated. The website although has less advertisements as compared to the Indian websites, but the articles and the other features are quite jumbled up. Personally, I didn’t find the website too interesting as it couldn’t hold me watching at it for a long time.

THE TIMES OF INDIA

The Times of India is probably the leading daily newspaper in India. It is owned by Bennett and Coleman Co & Ltd. The Times of India website is a complete package of news, information and entertainment. The website is well designed and is visually very appealing. The format on which the website is designed is very easy to access and each and every section is properly highlighted. One can easily go through the whole website. The language is simple and reader can enjoy reading the whole articles without any trouble. Besides all the above mentioned features, the website has videos which give you an overview of the story inside.
The website also has a blog section which helps an individual to express his/her opinion about a particular issue. This helps in getting a response of the reader about the overall happenings.
Personally, I am very satisfied with TOI website. And whenever I have to look for any media related activities I always log onto the TOI website. So, all my votes go in favour of the TOI website.

FIRST WEEK IN AJKMCRC

"An eye full of hope; an eye full of dreams; an eye that look forward to the future.. An eye that see JAMIA as a road-a road of help; a road that will lead to ultimate success." That's what JAMIA means for me....and I always wanted to pursue my career in the field of journalism.

Getting admission in JAMIA was like a dream come true. After completing the admission formalities, our orientation took place. We were briefed about the course and course contents. I really enjoyed the lectures conducted by Mr. Obaid Siddiqui and Mr. Amit Sen Gupta. At that time, I actually realized that YES, this is the right place for me.

The first day at AKJMCRC was very interesting. We headed for our lecture halls.... After the teachers introductory session, we were straight into BUSINESS. At the orientation Ms. Moina Khan had described this whole two year journey as "ROLLER COASTER RIDE" and it is actually one of a kind.

Since the first day till now we have been dealing with a very hectic schedule starting from morning to evening. I guess now we have come in a proper professional environment. AJKMCRC was totally a new place, new environment, new people and schedule being so tight and hectic, so it took some time to really adjust to the surroundings and personnel. But gradually and slowly, I’m getting acquainted to the new course. It feels really different from the bachelor course, the difference being the workload. At the end of the day I feel really tired and exhausted.

Apart from the rigorous classes, I’m really enjoying my multimedia lab and most importantly my classmates and the fun we have together at Fx!!

All the classmates are supportive and co-operative to each other which feels good, keeping in view that everybody has come from a different place and background. Talking about the teachers, they are very professional and to be honest they mean "business". I hope I can live up to their expectation and progress, which leads to success at every point. Just looking forward for the better things to come my way.....
